Tony and I were talking tonight at dinner. He was telling me about a man on the news that was released from prison after 3 decades. Because of new technology it was found that he was not guilty.
I could not imagine spending that many years in prison for something that deep inside my heart I knew 100% I did not do. But, all the evidence points that you are guilty. It is the perfect scenario and no matter what you say or do, you are guilty.
We live in a world that is nothing but temporal things. We need the holy Ghost to tell us what is right. To tell us what and who is honest and upright. Without the Spirit of God all we can do is believe a lie. If we follow after anything that is true it is only because of Jesus.
This scripture comes to mind:
2nd Cr 4:18: While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen [are] temporal; but the things which are not seen [are] eternal.
I am so glad that Jesus looks at the heart, and judges by things not seen. All the evidence would lead you to believe that Christianity is the right and holy way. Looks good, sounds good, makes good sense to the flesh. Just about any sect can prove to you that "their" belief is the right one, in their own words. But, what is the Spirit saying? What do you feel deep inside your soul? I have learned that it might be the perfect scenario, but Jesus may be saying, "No, this is the way! Come this way!" Do we trust the still small voice of the Spirit enough to know it is the only Truth?
I am learning not to look to what you see. Look to what you feel. Everything around us may be pointing one way, but the right way may be 100 miles the other way. Be willing to be wrong. Being wrong just might help us all find what is good, true, & right.
