GOING THE WRONG WAY
by Lahry Sibley

1Sa 9:6 And he said unto him, Behold now, there is in this city a man of God, and he is an honourable man; all that he saith cometh surely to pass: now let us go thither; peradventure he can shew us our way that we should go.
1Sa 9:7 Then said Saul to his servant, But, behold, if we go, what shall we bring the man? for the bread is spent in our vessels, and there is not a present to bring to the man of God: what have we?
1Sa 9:8 And the servant answered Saul again, and said, Behold, I have here at hand the fourth part of a shekel of silver: that will I give to the man of God, to tell us our way.

Back then, these men were searching for lost assess. Today, they search for lost HOPE. But who searches out the PROPHET, to "tell us our way"? Not many, if any. Men today don't want to be "told their way". Why? Because deep inside, they know "their way" is not HIS way. And since they love "their way" more than "HIS way", they have no interest in being reminded that they are GOING THE WRONG WAY.
Should the "man of GOD" find ear for HIS voice, chances are he will be severely rejected, as an outcast, not a treasure in their midst. Oh the false profits abound, at every corner, and their pockets are lined with silver and gold. But the man of GOD dwells in solitude and grief, because no one heeds his heart, which is in reality, the heart of GOD. REPENT! You're GOING THE WRONG WAY. What you seek you shall not find. And what you dread is WAITING FOR YOU!
