In our search for direction in life and
for spiritual wisdom we often look for spiritual mentors and that is
why people go after people who they regard as as spiritual leaders.
Sadly these people do not guide them to Jesus, they lead them the
wrong way. True wisdom is to follow Jesus. No man knows what is going
to happen tomorrow, nobody knows. And if we look at people those
people will disappoint us.
Many people look at these spiritual
leaders and they are severely disappointed but then they hate God,
but they were never following Jesus, they had nothing to do with God.
They were busy with some spiritual leader, a spiritual man.
Jesus sent us His Holy Spirit to guide
each and every one of us into the whole truth. We must not look at
men, we must not look on the arm of flesh but we must call on Jesus.
The apostle James wrote:”If any man needs wisdom LET HIM ASK IT OF
GOD who gives to ALL men FREELY...” Go read James chapter 1, verse
5 onwards. Wisdom comes from God. Wisdom is to know Jesus, to TRUST
Him. Jesus will NEVER let you down if you TRUST Him. If you come to
Him with a pure heart He will not let you down, even though you are
dumb. If we are serious with Jesus then He makes sure that our feet
do not slip. Your feet cannot slip if you are pure in heart, if you
are serious about following Jesus, if you are serious about being
pleasing to Him. If you ask His counsel when you go to Him and you
mean it with all your heart He will NOT fail you, He will NOT let you
down, but people will (let you down) because they are fallible –
men fail!
We must follow after Jesus ALONE. We
must seek our wisdom from HIM. We must pray and ask Him and He will
answer us. But if we go to Him we must TRUST HIM with all our heart,
He rewards those who diligently seek Him. If you don't trust Him,
don't bother going to Him. If you do follow after men you will
certainly be disappointed. That is why it is our task as disciples of
Jesus, to point others to the Light, Jesus Himself. Follow Jesus and
you will NEVER be in darkness
May Jesus bless you.
