2 Corinthians 4:3-4
“But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.”
If you have ever been lost you can relate to the helpless feeling of not knowing which way to turn to find deliverance. Usually I have very little trouble finding my way, but there was one time when a hunting trip turned into an ordeal.
My hunting partner and I had spent many hours watching pronghorn antelope. We were not hunting them, but rather enjoying observing these amazing animals. In our preoccupation with observing them we got turned around.
Hoping to locate our car, we separated and each went in a slightly different direction. After over an hour of walking over volcanic rock, I located a group of hunters. They knew where we had left our car and drove me there, which was actually several miles away. Without their help I would have been in deep trouble. My friend also found his way back to the car.
There are many souls in our world that discover they are lost. The problem is that without counsel they often head in the wrong direction. God’s way is the only way to heaven. Never listen to other lost people who try to give you directions.
May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions!
