My Devotional Journal: Today's ODB author, Dave Branon, points to the power of God’s Word, the Bible, to allow us to know God and lead us thru life. ... The ODB author wrote: I recently found a “hack” (a clever solution to a tricky problem) when one of my grandchildren warmed her toy rabbit on our fireplace glass. The resulting globs of fake bunny fur weren’t pretty, but a fireplace expert provided a great hack—a tip for how to make the glass look like new. It worked, and now we no longer allow stuffed animals near the fireplace!
I bring up hacks because sometimes we can view Scripture as a collection of hacks—tips to make life easier. While it’s true that the Bible has much to say about how to live a Christ-honoring new life, that’s not the only purpose of the Book. What Scripture provides for us is a solution for mankind’s greatest need: rescue from sin and eternal separation from God. [see photo]
Yes, God’s Word - the Bible - is certainly more that a large compilation of “hacks” (a new word for me)!! … And when you take in the Scriptures above - and believe them as truth, as I do - God’s word becomes our perfect “GPS” [“God’s Positioning System”), doesn’t it? As His word promises, the Bible is a light unto our path in life (Ps. 119:105). And when we used it for His purposes (i.e., to follow His will), it will ALWAYS provide us with His power (Isaiah 55:11). And finally, it gives us everything we need to live our lives according to God’s will, … following His ways (2Tim. 3:16-17).
So, that’s why I’m right here this morning; … right here in a quiet place EVERY MORNING, … seeking to know my Lord more intimately each day, and follow His ways and His will from His word.
God’s word is - and always will be - my “GPS” for life. How about you?
