MAKE GOD'S WORD YOUR GUIDE BOOK

2ND Timothy 3:16-17, 16) All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 17) That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works…

Often we all are confused about what to do in certain situations…Daily we are, faced with different decisions that we have to chose from…

The choices we make are forever…I am not saying that once we make a descision that we cannot go back and make a better one next time…but what I am saying is that we purchase the choices we make good or bad…
No matter what we do, we will have to live out the consequences of the choices that we make each day…

In this Scripture from 2nd Timothy, Paul teaches us that Scripture equips us completely and thoroughly for every good work…

So for me, and it is not always easy, I try to use God’s Word to help me make my decisions…I often have to ask my self, “What would God have me do in this situation…”

Like I said, it is not always easy, because many times we have to make decisions on the spur of the moment and we make those choices before we have had ample time to think or whatever…this just means we are human because we all make mistakes…But the more we stay in The Word of God, the more positive instructions we will have to pull from…In other words, God has given us more than enough promises that we should know about…and

God’s promises are found in a book like no other: The Holy Bible…The Bible is a road map for life here on earth and for life eternal…As Christians, we are called upon to trust its promises, to follow its commandments, and to share its Good News

As believers, we must study the Bible each day and meditate upon its meaning for our lives…Otherwise, we deprive ourselves of a priceless gift from our Creator…God’s Holy Word is, indeed, a transforming, life-changing, one-of-a-kind treasure…And, a passing acquaintance with the Good Book is not enough for us Christians who are seeking to obey God’s Word and to understand His will for our lives…

God has made promises to mankind and to you…God’s promises never fail and they never grow old…You must trust those promises and share them with your family, with your friends, and with the world

Are you standing on the promises of God? Are you expecting God to do wonderful things, or are you living beneath a cloud of apprehension and doubt? Really it is not hard to let Satan build up a stronghold of doubt in our spirit…The only thing that will break down or keep that stronghold from being built up, is the Word of God, God’s promises…

The familiar words of 2nd Samuel remind us of a insightful yet simple truth: “The Lord is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer... K.J.V. Another verse from Psalms 34:17, "The righteous cry out, and the LORD hears them; He delivers them from all their troubles..."

Do you trust those promises, and do you live accordingly? If so, you are living the passionate life that God intends…

For passionate believers, every day begins and ends with God’s Son and God’s promises…When we accept Christ into our hearts, God promises us the opportunity for earthly peace and spiritual abundance…but more importantly, God promises us the priceless gift of eternal life…

As we face the choices of our daily lives and the unavoidable challenges of life-here-on-earth, we must arm ourselves with the powerful promises of God’s Holy Word…When we do, we can expect the best…Not only for the day ahead, but also for all eternity…

The Bible is God’s Word, given to us by God Himself so we can know Him and His will for our lives

If you are like me, I often have a hard time making the right decisions in everyday life, but when I know in my heart that God intends for me to use His Word as my guidebook for life’s choices…it sure helps me make many more right decisions in comparison to bad ones…

Proverbs 30: 5, "Every word of God is pure; He is a shield to those who put their trust in Him…"

Matthew 5:6, "Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, because they will be filled…"

God’s Word is profitable in helping us make the profitable decisions in life…

God’s Word is profitable for teaching, because it will teach us to make better choices in our daily lives…

God’s Word is profitable for rebuking…

God’s Word is profitable for correcting…(When we make wrong decisions, His Word will, if we let it, correct us and move us into making better decision as we go forward in life…)
If we look at God’s Word and stand on the promises and the guidelines, we will go forward making more accurate choices…and We will become more truthful in our daily lives…

When we do what is in line with God’s Word, we will start to reap seeds that have been sowed in righteousness for His glory…

Prayer:
Heavenly Father, Your Holy Word is a light unto the world; let me study it, trust it, and share it with all who cross my path…In all that I do, help me be a worthy witness for You as I share the Good News of Your perfect Son and Your perfect Word…
Amen…
