Bible Verse of The Day – 9-10-20

2 Timothy 4:3 (NKJV) 3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers…

There is so much out there today that will tickle our ears. We can pick and choose what we want to hear. And of course, line it up with what makes us feel good about ourselves or our opinion.

What good is it if we get to heaven and find out that what we were doing was wrong? Will we simply say to God, “oops, that isn’t what my teacher told me. He/she said it was OK to continue in what I was doing.”?

Do we think God is going to say, “oh, it’s OK. You didn’t know better. Let me deal with your teacher. It’s their fault they misled you.“?

No. It’s our responsibility to dig in and find the truth. It’s our responsibility to pay close attention to the guidance of the Holy Spirit and obey His leading.

Let us not be ruled by our desires and spend all our time searching for someone to tickle our ears so we can continue to feel good in doing what we know we need to change.

Psalm 119:30 (NKJV) 30 I have chosen the way of truth; Your judgments I have laid before me.

God is faithful to lead us with sound doctrine that He has provided for each one of us. His word brings truth.

Amen.
