Why the Bible is still relevant to you (Part 1)

Why the Bible is still relevant to you

In our very busy lives full of media bombardment and instant information we often find ourselves in information overload. We spend much time trying to keep up and process this information as quickly as it comes and it can be a daunting task. !!! We have to constantly decide for ourselves what part of these information bites are worth it for our lives.

God, in His infinite wisdom, took a lot of time (from man's perspective) to craft a timeless message designed to give His creation a compass to successfully navigate the journey of life and provide His Words as a guideline to evaluate the worthiness of all other media of information.

In the next few email devotionals, I am going to outline a number of reasons why knowing and learning God's Word is so important for successful living ( and provide passages from God's Word to encourage you with it)

1. You are the handiwork and creation of God. You have great value to Him and He has gone to great lengths to communicate to you. !!!

Revelation 3:20 says "Behold I stand at the door ( of your heart ) and knock. If any person will hear my voice, I will come in and commune with them and they with me as well!!

2. The knowledge, and meditation of the scriptures is God's foundation for successful living.

Psalm 1:1,2,3 says "Blessed is the man that sits not in the seat of sinners, nor stands in the way scorners, nor walks with mockers but his delight is in the law of the Lord and in His law he meditates day and night. He shall be like a tree whose roots are near the river of life and will bring forth his fruits in the right season.

Joshua 1:8 says "This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth , but thou shalt meditate on them day and night. For then thou shall make yourself prosperous and then thou shalt have good success.

Soak in God's Word everyday. It is the gift of God to you. ! It is the life blood of everyday good thinking.

3. God's Word can give you the correct line of vision and insight to make every important decision.

Psalms 119:105 say "Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path. "

Psalms 119:9 says " How can a young man keep / cleanse his way ? By taking heed according to your Word. "

Take some time today ( even now! ) to dig in the Bible and allow God to lead you in His ways.

Peace to you and pass this on. !!
