“For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but cast them into hell and committed them to pits of darkness, reserved for judgment” (2 Peter 2:4)

How is it that some think that what they say or do makes no difference?  Something may be said or done and  the moment something contrary happens, they will go back on what they said or did.  The truth speaks, but will we listen?  One third of the angels were cast into hell.  Those who rebel against the Lord and continue on that path are bound for hell.  We live in a world that rejects the truth.  Christ is truth.  Yes, there is a hell and God has provided a means of rescue from hell for those who are willing to follow truth who is Christ our Savior. 

Lord, help me see that You rescue those who are hell-bound.  All have sinned and fallen short of Your glory.  The wages of sin is death.  Lead me, O Lord, in the way of life so that I would live according to Your promises and for Your purpose.  Do not let me make light of that which is eternal.  Guide me according to Your will to do what is right and fitting in all things and at all times.

Thank You, Lord Jesus, for paying the price so that the inevitable destination for the rebellious ones would not be mine.  You have done what was needed so that I could be forever with You.  Lead me, Lord, in the way You have established.  Guide me according to Your goodness to see what is right and true.  Help me to hear what I need to hear and to be willing to live according to Your Word.  Amen.

“Many will follow their sensuality, and because of them the way of the truth will be maligned; and in their greed they will exploit you with false words; their judgment from long ago is not idle, and their destruction is not asleep” (2 Peter 2:2-3).

How do you feel about that?  Our hearts are wicked and deceitful and not to be trusted.  Our feelings will lead us astray.  Look at the truth of the word and be led by the One who created you.  How you feel will change and sometimes your feelings will lead you astray.  Come then and be led by the truth of the One who has redeemed you.  Listen to His word of truth and be led in truth.

Lord, You have spoken in these latter days through Your Son.  Guide me into all truth so that I would not be led astray by the false words that are all around me.  Lead me by Your truth that I may now and always walk in Your ways.  You have called me through faith to be led into all truth.  Keep me in Your truth, Lord.  Once I know the real thing, everything false is seen more easily.  Teach me truth.

Lord Jesus, You are truth.  You have come that I may have life and have it abundantly.  Guide me, dear Lord, in the way You have established and train my ears to know the truth when it is spoken.  Keep me away from the false prophets who seek to maim and destroy.  Lead me into all truth in order that I may be conformed to Your likeness.  Lead me, O Lord, and teach me to follow.  Amen.
