The Other Side of Happiness

“Their sorrows shall be multiplied that hasten after another god: their drink offerings of blood will I not offer, nor take up their names into my lips.” Psalms 16:5

Such tragedy belongs to those that refuse the One GOD, and instead look to the god’s of this world!   Not only are they never satisfied in the here and now, but the future for them will bring devastation, never ending devastation! 

They go to great degree to satisfy their craving but peace is far from them. Thinking their own sacrifices will sustain them is as unreal as the god they serve. Blinded by fleshly intent they wander in darkness, seeing only the good in themselves, by the works they do.  They get what they want but miss what they need!

Even within the corridor of the church they can be found.  These are those that depend on self and not the One they claim to serve.  “Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof:” 2 Timothy 3:5a.

There is only one “offering of blood” that satisfies GOD, this is that of the SON!  There is not any work or sacrifice anyone can do; self is out of the picture. Only the shed blood of CHRIST can satisfy and purify the weary soul!

From the depths of my heart

I plead for you today.

If you haven’t trusted JESUS,

Please trust Him right away!

What you have to hope for,

Without CHRIST as your Lord,

Is total devastation!

And be defeated by the Sword!

So you can take all your good works

And watch them decay away.

Your own bit of righteousness

Will never make the way!

I matters not what you trust

If it’s not CHRIST alone,

That is who your god is

You are not before GOD’s Throng!

“To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen.” Jude 1:25
