You’re going to find that there will be times when people will have no stomach for solid teaching, but will fill up on spiritual junk food–catchy opinions that tickle their fancy. They’ll turn their backs on truth and chase mirages. 2 Timothy 4:3-4 (MSG)
You’ve seen that appearance of a pool of water right in the middle of a tarmac road when it’s very hot. But it’s not real, only just an effect of the bending of light by heated air. It’s a mirage.
Even in real life there are mirages – illusions and fantasies, and yet unfortunately people go after them having forsaken what’s real.
What the Word of God tells us is what’s real; it’s the true solid teaching. Human opinions, theories, and logic based on what they have observed, tested, and experienced about the universe is limited and always changing. These are the mirages.Fix your gaze on the real unchanging and satisfying knowledge of God, His Love for you and His Life in you. Stay away from the mirages of what excites and appeals to the senses.
