Jeremiah 29:11

Throughout the Bible God explicitly forbids seeking physics, mediums, astrologists, and fortune tellers of all sorts. (Duet. 18:10-12, Lev. 19:31, 20:6, 2 Kings 23:24) But today the business of witchcraft is a multi billion dollar one. Because everyone has questions needing answers and a future needing to be told. Even Christians fall prey to the sin of trusting others who tell you what you want to hear, instead of trusting God. The Israelites learned the hard way all that glitters isn’t gold. They desperately wanted to believe the false prophets and mediums in Babylon. Those who promised the people would soon be back in their own land. But God was very clear. Only He controls the future. And only He can can guarantee one of hope, goodness, love, and prosperity. How could there be a more wonderful future! And because of God’s unending grace and mercy, to get it all we need do is confess Jesus as Lord and receive His gift of pardon.

Psalm 15:1

If the list of requirements to dwell with God forever sound impossible, it’s because it’s supposed to be. For we can’t truly realize our need for Jesus until we understand how far we have fallen short of God’s holiness. Christ is the only one who can cleanse us and prepare us to dwell in His house forever. And thankfully, we have the blessing of receiving His gift of pardon. All we must do is confess our sins and repent. What does it mean to repent? It means to turn aside from our wickedness and sin. Walking away from the things the flesh desires and walking with Jesus. Because in all the world there was only One whose walk was utterly blameless. Only One who always did what was righteous. That person was the Lord Jesus Christ. And when we abide in Him and in His strength, we can find victory in our lives.  No matter what life throws at us, we will never be shaken and can have confidence that one day we will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.
