Stay the Course

   It’s a popular phrase when life questions go deeper. What is called upon is faith and focus. We are talking about the title of this devotion. The “Course” being referred to is what God would have us follow faithfully.

   We live in uncertain times. Radical changes surround us. False “prophets” abound with misleading messages.

   The existence and role of God is at the center of the cultural debates. His Word is also in question. In the extreme we have a conflict between “theism” (the “study of God”) and atheism (the “belief that God does not exist.”) 

   Here we insert a basic, practical identity for G-O-D.  In addition to His many, grander qualifiers, He is also Good Orderly Direction — for life. His Word can be viewed as Believable Insights Before Leaving Earth.

   We have a reason to “Stay the Course — to rely upon God and His Word. Both are unchangeable and fully trustworthy. They have stood the test of controversy.

   We face a great debate. At its core is a spiritual battle — an intentional dispute over the existence of God and His reliability…and the vitality of His Word. It is a spiritual debate that dates back to Genesis 3 — where Satan planted the seed of doubt regarding the trustworthiness of God (vv.1-5).
