It is so evident that there is a God who created everything that no one can honestly deny His existence. To do so shows the sin of denial and idolatry and the need of a Savior from God’s wrath.
Jesus is our Savior!
The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?
Psalm 27:1, ESV

Choose today to call on the name of the Lord and worship in truth and love.

He wants our devotion and to give us what we need.
Trust in the Lord forever, for the Lord God is an everlasting rock.

The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately sick; who can understand it?
Jeremiah 17:9, ESV
If we “look deep within” ourselves to find happiness, we will only be disappointed. Maybe this life will turn out better from “following our hearts,” but ultimately it usually leads us away from Christ and eternal life.
We should expect those outside of Christ to act unwisely and foolishly, but we should be sober-minded and seek His wisdom.
