I am so thankful we have the word of God to be our guide in life. Even more amazing is the fact the Lord Himself is our Guide. An old acronym for the word “Bible,” is Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth. This is certainly true! The word of God contains all we need as God “has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue,” 2 Peter 1:3. No matter what we are going through, we can find help and comfort in the pages of Scripture. And for the believer, the indwelling Holy Spirit guides us, comforts us and strengthens us each and every day. I like how Psalm 48:14 reminds us that our God is forever and ever and He will guide us, even to death. We don’t have to go through life alone. He is always with us and He delights when we speak to Him in prayer and await His answers too. He answers by His word. Snatches of Scripture come to our minds, or our daily devotion leads us to a passage we need to read or be reminded of. The words of a hymn, or Christian song, speak to us right where we are, and in the act of just sitting and reading His word, He brings us to a verse that speaks to our need. Again, I am thankful to have the word of God. May you find encouragement in the pages of Scripture today.
