The Formula

As we go through life, aren't we often prone to try to find some formula that will help us through.  It's almost as if Part A has to connect to Part B and then align with Part C..  We feel as if it all has to follow some plan, that there has to be a total sense of order, and that if there is not we will somehow feel unsettled.  We crave that formula almost as much as we crave calm and a total sense of order.

Looking for, and striving for, some mythical formula that will somehow help guide us through life in a calm storybook manner will end up doing just the opposite, because it is just a figment of our imaginations. 

Perhaps some of you by now are saying "Whoa there fella, of course we need a formula to bring a sense of order to our lives."  That would be a good reaction because it would indicate that you are indeed thinking about your life's path.  But, sorry, there is no formula.

What we do have available for us is truth.  God's word.  It isn't a formula.  It's Gods plan for all of us humans whom He made in His image.  You see, formula's are subject to variables.  They can be jiggled, fudged, and toyed with.  God's word, truth, is fact and it is rock solid.  We just have to make the choice whether or not we want to trust that word, or whether or not to try going it our own way by some formula we seek, one we think will offer us the best outcomes. 

Bottom Line Thought:  Is it Pablum or the real deal for you?
