In Search Of YOU!

March 18, 2025

KEY FROM GOD’S WORD:

Proverbs 18:2
A fool hath no delight in understanding, but that his heart may discover itself.

THOUGHTS ON GOD’S WORD:

    Many new books have been published over the years trying to help people find themselves. Self-esteem is a buzzword. The idea behind it all is that if you do not feel good about yourself, how can you even hope to survive?

    The sad thing is that when most people get to the end of the long road to find out the truth, they are often disappointed. If you do an honest self-examination, you will find you are just like everyone else. A different talent and a different way of life maybe, but other than material differences, we are all pretty much the same. We are no better and no worse than anyone else trudging around this big old mudball we call Earth.

    The search for oneself is often driven by self-pride. Can you imagine spending a lifetime searching, only to find that we are all just sinful creatures searching for the truth? Real truth will lead you to God. God’s Word tells us that man does not want to know the truth, what they want is to believe a lie. People want to hear that somehow; they are better or in some way different from the rest of the world. When the truth is, to find our real value in life, we must first have God in our lives. Once we make God the director of our life, He will show us just what He created us to be. Isn’t that what we really want? Not to know who we are, but to know what we may become?

    I heard it once said, “Life is a stage, and we are all actors there in.” The question then is, who is directing the continuing saga of your life?

  

CARRYING THAT THOUGHT THROUGH THE DAY:

    Giving our hearts to the Lord is a one-time thing. You only need to accept Christ as Saviour once to be eternally secure in that salvation. However, giving our lives over to God can be a daily struggle. Let’s just bow our hearts to the Lord today and tell Him, “I am here today to serve you, Lord. Make of me what you need me to be. Be the director of my life today. Amen.”

Will you allow and invite God to lead your life today?

IF YOU ARE JOURNALING:

Ask yourself, what are MY THOUGHTS concerning this Passage, and today’s Devotion?

Do I find within this reading a CHALLENGE for my life?

What are one or two things I WILL DO today or this week to accept that CHALLENGE?
