2 Peter 2:17 These are wells without water, clouds carried by a tempest, for whom is reserved the blackness of darkness forever.

When you are in the middle of a drought one of the most frustrating things is to see clouds appear which end up without rain. Another frustrating thing is to dig boreholes or wells and not find water.

Have you tried cloud-watching before? Most pictures you see only last for a few minutes or even seconds before they are taken away.

Don’t be fooled into following people who are like those clouds which never bring rain or those which last a few seconds.

God will give them what they deserve when the time comes; stay firm in your relationship with Christ.

Matthew 15:14 Let them alone. They are blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind leads the blind, both will fall into a ditch.

I’m sure we have all seen films, clips or even live action of people walking into walls, glass, doors or lampposts. Each one because they did not see where they were going.

If we have our eyes open and are attentive to our surroundings, most of the time we will not fall into ditches and such.

We have to keep our eyes open to the spiritual ditches and pitfalls in our lives and not just the physical ones.

God wants to keep us safe and if we cannot keep our eyes on the pitfalls, then we need Him to guide us continually so we can be safe.

Isaiah 9:16 For the leaders of this people cause them to err, And those who are led by them are destroyed.

How often do you totally rely on a Sat-Nav system to guide you to a destination you have never been to before? I know I tend to rely on them a great deal!

But what would happen if it carried on telling you the wrong directions each time you asked which way to go?

If our leaders do not have a firm grip on the direction God has set before us then we are following people who do not know where they are going either!

Put your faith and trust in God instead of in men who make all the right noises but don’t tell the truth!
