A Lifting From God’s Word

There are so many times I just sit and reflect on the Word of God to gain encouragement and strength to press on.  And then there are times when I just reflect on how the Word of God provides an answer for every situation and problem we could ever encounter.

“Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.” Psalm 119:105

The Words of the Bible are often pursued for reassuring counsel of guidance and strength.  We can find many illustrations of miracles performed through men of God in the face of extraordinary odds against them.  The Bible assures us that if we trust in the Lord and follow the teachings of His Word, God’s grace will help us in our time of need.  

“Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.” Proverbs 3:5-6

The Bible contains everything we need, it is our road map to the abundant life Jesus promised us. The Word of God has great advice to encourage God’s people in every situation they face. Whether we need an increase of courage or an intensified jolt of motivation, the Word of God has it.

The utmost resolution to any difficulty, trial, or trepidation is to dwell in the presence of the Lord and we best accomplish this feat by delving into the Word of God. For a Christian, seeking God’s presence is the core of discipleship. There, in His fortress, we are safe. For the believer, God’s presence is the fullness of joy.

“But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you.” 1 Peter 1:25
