Monday’s Mantra

I am amazed how dependent, as a society, we’ve become on technology. We can hardly drive across town without referencing our Garmin or consulting our Waze App. Just imagine if you jumped in your car and drove to a location, across the country, without a Garmin, Waze, MapQuest, or even an old fashioned map or compass, to direct you…

It’s probable you might not even start in the right direction. Running out of gas is a given, because you wouldn’t know the number of miles between gas stations. A well-meaning person would undoubtedly send you in the wrong direction, and at least once you would find yourself thinking, “Haven’t we passed that Walmart three times before?”

Welcome to Coffee Hour at Chicklit Power and Megan’s Monday Mantra with Trench Classes United.

Even though I accepted Christ as a young child, it was 45 years before I began to study His Word. When I look back over my life, I cringe at some of the senseless hardships I endured because I did not know God’s Word and was therefore unable to follow His direction.

There is an immense difference in knowing about God and personally knowing God. The Bible is the Word of God. It is our spiritual road map. It is the road map that guides and directs our lives according to His will. Without it we are lost and left searching for our final destination.

I know for many, studying the Bible feels like a daunting task. But it doesn’t need to be. Daily devotionals with scripture reference, Bible-teaching churches, and home or group Bible studies are enjoyable and enriching ways to learn the Word of God.

Charles Stanley, of “In Touch Ministries” writes, “Scripture guides our steps. If we read and heed the Lord’s instructions, He will show us where to go, what to say, and how to make decisions. His Word also reveals when we are heading in the wrong direction and warns us of the consequences of continuing down that path.”

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

God’s Word is the light showing us the path to heaven.

Is God’s Word a lamp to your feet and a light to your path?

Your comments are always most welcome.

Lovingly in Christ,

Megan
