Truth For Youth

To weave a life of beautiful hues, choose the right threads

Young son and young daughter, are you weaving your life to-day, of fast fading pleasures or joys that stay?

Do you want it completed in lovely hues? It will all depend on the threads you use. Choose only the best from the maze you find the threads that will strengthen your heart and mind. Take the durable threads that will not wear out, the threads you are sure of, beyond a doubt.

If you want some colourful gay, bright and beautiful, they should be right without snags, knots, fading, to make you lovely and beautiful in God's sight. It is better if you choose sturdy and plain threads to withstand the strain of the noonday sun, and the scalding tears that are sure to come with the passing years. But to all your threads you must add some gold, the wealth of God's love, that will make them hold. Eve chose the thread of lustful eyes and disobeyed God and lost her glory.

Samson found the thread of fleshly lust and lost his God-given strength and power. Achan's thread of covetousness resulted in the destruction of his own household.

Annaniah and Sapphira's thread of lies in their lives brought down their own death.

Jezebel chose threads of hatred and revenge in her life pattern, against God's elect and met a tragic end.

Korah's thread of accusation of God's anointed brought destruction.

Joseph's thread of undefilement made him great in Egypt. The three Hebrew men chose the thread of firm standing in God against the Babylonian fire and they were appointed as great leaders in the provinces. Daniel's thread of undaunted faith in God rescued him from the fierce lions of the heathen land.

Job chose the thread of patience to all the severe trials, made him to get double fold blessings.

In weaving a life of beautiful hues, it always depends on the threads you choose! The golden thread is a must in your life-patter, as it brings out the inner divine beauty.

“And let the beauty of the Lord, our God be upon us”. (Psalm 90:17)
