Do you ever feel like life is a battle? Do you find yourself asking “where is my shield from all this chaos?” Well, believe me…you’re not alone.
You could get yourself a good set of noise-cancelling headphones from one of those high-end electronics manufacturers and tune out the world. But you’d only be shutting out the sounds…not the actual problems. They’re much deeper and more firmly rooted in the human condition.
For thousands of years men and women have written, sung, and lamented about their troubles, their fears, their trepidations in life. The vast majority of the world’s population seeks hope and relief in things and feelings. But a few understand that Jesus is THE Life. And they have hope in the midst of their troubles and fears…because they can say,
“My shield is God, and His way is perfect“.
Who are these people? Are they privy to some deep, mystical secrets found only after an intense search throughout the caverns of the world? Or do they live high on mountain tops with legs crossed and palms facing outward…in a trance…seeking knowledge found only in the depths of the human mind?
Nope.
These people are the ones who have humbled themselves and recognized the sovereignty of God and His eternal salvation found only in accepting His Son, Jesus, as Savior.
“Wow, Tony…you have such old-fashioned ideas about things. When did you lose your coolness and become such a fuddy-dud?”
Guess what. Everyone’s ideas are old-fashioned. “New age” isn’t new. It’s the original sin. The metaphysical proponents have been here almost as long as all of human existence. There truly is “nothing new under the sun“. But…
…there is something very new under the SON.
You.
All you gotta do is ask, and He will come into your heart. Then you’ll put on the “new man” and live into the “newness of life”. And it will last forever.
What are you waiting for? It’s a limited time offer. It’s more important than what clothes you’ll wear today…or what food you’ll eat…or what car you’ll drive. And it’s your choice. Life or death. As for me…I’m choosing life so I can stand behind my shield and live forever. I’d love to see you there.
Stay tuned…
