I LOVE the Word of God, it is full of great truths, it will convict you, it will encourage you, challenge you, inspire you, birth new passions inside of you, it can do almost limitless things inside of you. The reason for that is because it is God-breathed, John 1:1 says it best, In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The reason the Word of God is so powerful, is because it is God...that is why you can read the same passage a million times and get something different out of it each time because God can speak to you through it in whatever situation you are in!!!
That said, one thing that I have found to be true is that it is one thing to read and believe the Word of God, but it is an entirely different thing to LIVE IT!! Here for the past few weeks my family has been living this Scripture, Proverbs 3:5 & 6 - Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight. It is so easy to say that you are trusting in the Lord, but quite another to be living that truth, we have been and have found that when you don't try and figure things out on your own, but trust in the wisdom and sovereignty of God, show that in everything that you do you must have God, He WILL make your paths straight!!
Don't just read and believe Scripture, LIVE IT!!
God Bless,
