I was a part of
the 60’s experience. Some say everyone
was against authority. That was not the
case for me. I was against bad
authority, like the one ruling our land at the time. I am not against all authority; I want good
authority.
Fear and
discouragement subside when I know someone is in control of a situation;
someone I know well and can put my trust in; someone with integrity and deals
honestly; someone who is faithful in whom I can put my trust. Ultimately the authority I look to is God.
When that is secure then I can be at peace within myself, no matter what the
outward circumstances come to.
The choice boils
down to two things; do I believe that Jesus is who he says he is, and is God
really who Jesus days he is, and is the Holy Spirit really who Jesus says he
is? If I choose to believe what Jesus
says then I have found what I have been seeking and simply need to follow
him. The second choice is do I really
believe that the Bible is a way that God speaks to me and is True in what it
says; that it is inspired by God and is profitable for teaching, reproof,
correction, and training in righteousness.
If I do choose to believe that then I have found all I need to know and
simply need to listen and obey what it says to me.
My years of
experimenting and experiencing life have bought me to a simple faith. There is no need to discuss or defend my
choice; simply follow, listen, and obey.
Do I really believe these two things?
I DO! Am I willing to stake my life on what I believe? I AM!
