Alway the last place we look!

I am sure you've noticed that when you are looking for something you find it in the last place you look. Why? Because you feel there is no need to look any further. The same is true when we're seeking spiritual truths. Often, we stop looking when we find something we perceive to be true and we look no farther. The last word we have is what we assume to be the final truth. Kind of dangerous in matters of the spirit, though, because as we mature in the Lord, He continues revealing truths to us - if we're looking. If we stopped looking because someone claimed to have found the definitive truth 100 years ago we run the risk of missing the revelation that comes with maturity. That's why I never stop looking, questioning, probing the "truth" as I know it to make sure it stands up under the scrutiny of age. I encourage you to do the same. Never stop looking, seeking the truth of God's will. You will be surprised at what you will find that has been there all along!
