If you’ve watched any TV over the last couple of months, there has been no shortage of promises and guarantees for your life. Politicians are pretty sure they can get your vote if they promise you peace and prosperity. In other words, no more wars, a great economy, and low gas prices. Also, don’t forget low prices for eggs and healthcare that is better than anywhere else on the planet and affordable. They promise all these things so they can get your vote. Can either side deliver? They’ve had many, many, many decades to do it, and I guess at times they have done so with moderate success. Solomon makes that same promise. Well, actually, he writes it on behalf of our Heavenly Father. He tells us that if we will listen, hold closely to, and live by our Heavenly Father’s teachings, we will have those things. Wow! In a shifting world of war and peace and conflict, God offers us a peace that goes beyond understanding, one that will guard our hearts and minds. In a world where markets rise and fall, the price of oil comes and goes, and even the cost of eggs fluctuates, we have a God who promises to look after us in the same way He looks after the birds of the air and the lilies in the field. And He has all the resources He needs to do it. He makes promises about life. The most committed believers I know would trade the next moment on this earth for eternity in heaven in the blink of an eye. Today, put your faith and trust not in man, but in your Creator. #BeTheEdge
