"Information"

Why can't we trust God's word? We live in an age of information. We have computers, cell phones, television, radios, books and more printed material than at any time in world history. I do like to read and I know others do also, but it has become that many are so unhappy where things are spiritually with them, they reach for anything that can give them that "new" insight or special idea to stir their lives again. Others do not trust God's word when they don't understand something so they immediately run to someones commentary for their thinking and direction. I am not trying to put down writings but what I am trying to get us to realize is why are we afraid when we don't understand something from God we don't trust Him for His understanding? Why do we run to the lastest information writings out there instead of God?

The way our lives need to run is trust God and His word. We need to live in the truth as God has revealed. People argue, quibble and want more to their spirituality and they believe the truth of God's word is not enough so they turn to man's teachings or thoughts. God has made His truth rather plain. We have made His truth say things that the Lord never said. We read into His word what's not in His word. No, we aren't short on information from God. We are short on believing the information given. Many are trying to convince us that God didn't give us everything we need for "life and godliness" (II Pet. 1:3). It was Jesus crying out, "Why won't you accept My words?" The struggle for Jesus and His apostles was getting people to listen and accept the word of the Lord. It seem much more difficult today as everyone is bolting for new and exciting things to stir us while the Lord sits in the background waiting for someone to listen and heed His words alone. Maybe I am alone in this or maybe my thinking is too simple, I don't know but I seem to be behind others in my understanding. I believe we have ALL the instruction we need from God, His truth is in place for us to respond to and there doesn't need to be anything else sought. I firmly believe Rom. 12:1-2 that we need to present ourselves back to Him because of His mercies, renew our minds on HIS WORD alone so He can begin within us a transformation that takes us into the image of His Son. If we would do that, all this "new worship", "new phases", "new ideas" and the emptiness that is in so many would be replaced by the true and powerful things of God. It's not we are lacking information. It's a lack for His information!!!
