“Escape”…
What are some of the ways you “escape” your circumstances? Some people use drugs, others use food and some use mindless computer games. How do you “escape”?
Escape for the skeptic would mean that “religion” is an escape. And that is true in one sense because we are “escaping” by turning to the living God who is our Protector and our Deliverer.
What is the best way to “escape” our thoughts, fears, and circumstances? For the followers of Christ it is the action of: turning to Him in prayer and reading the true word of God…finding comfort and hope and encouragement and love and yes, even being ‘convicted’ to change through believing God’s Book of Life.
God’s word is for you and me…His word is true, worthy of our trust and it is eternal. Isn’t that amazing? God’s word will never, ever become obsolete or disappear…God is near to all who call on Him!
(NASB) Psalm 119:151-152 “You are near, O LORD,
And all Your commandments are truth.
152 Of old I have known from Your testimonies
That You have founded them forever.”
“Escape” to God Himself!
