On March 8, Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 simply vanished and just as quickly, dozens of different theories as to what happened were broadcast all over the globe. But there’s only one true story.
Paul seemed to be a very kind man, maybe soft spoken, yet he could be a fireball when people challenged him or got in the way of him helping people. He wanted to be kind and loving but was also willing to be firm. This is a picture of Jesus. In the book of Second Corinthians, the Apostle Paul is dealing with a group of people who seemed to doubt him at every turn. They are examining Paul’s faith when they really should be examining their own. Despite his efforts, many continued to be blind to the truths he was sharing. They chose to believe lies than accept the truth and therefore, they committed themselves to spiritual blindness.
Friend, don’t be spiritually blind. The Truth is in God’s Word. Accept that Truth and then live by the Truth. Our spiritual life, in part, is built on self-examination followed by course corrections. As you drive a car or steer a boat, you make many small adjustments to the wheel. In our lives, it is insightful to read a portion of the Bible, think about what it says, and adjust our course based on God’s Word.
It may hurt at times as you examine your life, but that is for your own good. Trust God and remove the blind-fold.
Life Lesson: People are never as blind as the ones who refuse to see.
On March 24th, Malaysia sadly announced all souls on board Flight 370 had been lost in the Indian Ocean. Still, many grieving families are, for now, choosing not to believe it. Please pray for them all.
