Christians - Where can we go BUT to the Lord?

Question

There is an awesome song we have sung over the years which pleads the question,
"Where can I go? Oh where can I go?
Where can I go but to the Lord?"
These words strike the soul. They hammer their way into the heart, pounding relentlessly as if they were screaming for attention.
"Where can I go but to the Lord?"

Isn't good to know that you have the Lord of the Universe to go too?

Thank you Nichoftymes!

Our society is moving rapidly into a selfish and self-contained mode. We are taught to "work it out" when a problem arises. And, rightly so, we do have a responsibility to act, but, never alone. God calls us to remember Him in all things. God is not a God of trouble. He is a God of life. Life has it’s laughter and it has it’s tears. God is there, happy or sad. It is not in us to "handle" everything that comes our way. It is handled by His strength, not ours. There is absolutely nowhere we can go but to the Lord for real healing of the heart.

God bless you brother.

Thanks J-me.

People in this country pay huge amounts of money to have someone tell them how to get their lives corrected. And, often times, the correction creates other issues. "It is not in man to direct his own footsteps", so the writers of old said. There is nothing wrong with seeking outside help from other humans, as long as the answer is not just human. We can help one another. "As steel sharpens steel, so one man sharpens another". But, when we are sharpened by other humans and God is left out of the equation, we will still be hopelessly dull.

Is that right?

Peace brother.

I would have other christians to know that God is our strength. He is our rock, our salvation and our deliverer. There is no other! There is no human on this earth with His power or wisdom. There is nowhere else to turn than to the Lord. Nations have stood under the judgments of God through the centuries because they would not trust Him. The iniquity of a people grows when God is absent in their hearts. The "do it myself" mentality brings about a society of evil doers. People grow despondent because there is no way out and evil rises to new heights. One has only to look back through history to see the pattern.

In our struggles, it is imperative that we do not dismiss or fail to recognize the awesome power within us, as God dwells in us and empowers us through this life. If we are weak, His strength will make us strong. If we are failing, His success can turn our failures into success. If we are afraid, His fearlessness can overshadow our fear.

Loverboyforever, Indeed he is.

What is even more exciting is that fact that God replicates Himself in every believer. If I stand beside you or you stand beside me in a crisis, God is there. If we help one another through the pitfalls of life, God fully shows Himself and His presence will calm the soul.

Peace

Thank you heir to Christ! Amen!

No one can compare to Him.

God bless you

Answer 1

There is nothing worth giving your life for, than the Lord, and His ways. His ways and code for living are infinitely better, than the world's. Who can compare with Him?

There is nothing
There is no one
to compare with You.
I find pleasure in worshipping You ....Lord.

I LOVE YOU LORD JESUS!

Answer 2

John 6:68

Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life.

He is risen indeed.

Answer 3

Depends on the situation. If you have tax problems, consult a CPA. For instance.

Answer 4

you sound a lot like a heroin user after an injection. it's amazing to me, the mind control that exists in the christian cult. i guess that's why it makes you feel so good. at least it makes one's mind feel stronger, and elevates the low-self esteem that many feel. i guess that's pretty cool, in a way.

Answer 5

That's the earmark of a cult, making them believe they have nowhere else to go.

Answer 6

If you can believe the song, I suppose it is nice.

Answer 7

he is the only way

Answer 8

What can I say? I couldn't agree more :)
