The Wise Seek Him

A wise man once said that wise men still seek God. In the blackness, they see the brightness of his star. Jesus stood out from the moment of his conception. The wise seek him because no other name is given among men whereby they may be saved from death. His wonderful words were without precedent, and those who are wise build their house upon the rock of his Word. The foolish ignore Him—too busy with the cares of this life to be concerned with the next. Heaven is the last thing on their minds.

God offers eternal life, and His offer is universal. Whosoever may come. That includes Hindus, Buddhists, Muslims, agnostics, and atheists. Yet a considerable portion of humanity chooses to remain in the dark. Tears should fill our eyes at such a reality because we know that they run from the pleasures of heaven and instead walk toward the pains of hell. We empathize with them because we, too, once walked in their shoes.

Father, wash me of anything that tried to cling to my soul this day.
