Simple but not easy.

Life is full of pot holes and other hidden features. But there is hope. My philosophy about life, and all things spiritual boils down to this. It's all about truth.

God knows us, always has. He describes and illustrates us in perfect detail in His word. His word, that does not change. It doesn't become obsolete. The reason for that is simple. People don't change. Now I'm not talking individually here. A person can change(although few do). But in general, as a group. People don't change. Our styles do, how we look at the world can. Governments come and go. But relative to who we are, that stays the same.

There is hope, however. That hope is in embracing the truth. Identify it. Name it. Claim it and call it our own.

The process is more often than not, simple.

Simple, but not easy.

God didn't just dump us here and leave us to suffer. There is a way to navigate through all the muck and debris. We don't have to come out on the loosing end. You've got to identify the truth. That is the simple part. Then we apply that truth to our selves. That is where it quits being easy. It's not easy. Especially at first. When you practice your part of the lie for a lifetime, stepping away from that can be unnatural. Add the fact that everyone around you is still playing the lie card, you'll find it takes commitment to stay with it.

Identify it. Name it. Profess it. Deal with it. That is what you do with the truth. And the truth will set you free.

It's not your job to be a cosmic cop. God was running things long before you showed up on the scene. He's watching the phone. This is about YOU.
