The Purpose for God’s Word
“For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope.” (Romans 15:4)
Today’s Morsel: Are you aware that every problem that you will face in life can be overcome by obedience to the word of God? God left nothing without an example in His word. If I have a disagreement with someone, the word tells me how to fix it. It tells me how to raise my kids, treat my spouse so that we will have a great marriage, time management, financial planning, and even soul winning. But one of the most important things that it teaches us is how to maintain hope. And Paul tells us that it requires patience and comfort of the scriptures for hope to come to fruition. When we take God’s word and apply it to our lives, and give it a chance to take root, it will produce the hope that we desire and that we need in life. Not that it’s going to change others, it’s going to change us. And once it changes us, we will see the load that we are carrying, and the disagreements, and other things, that were blocking our hope, and those things are now removed, and we can see what we ought to do. Which gives us hope. Let me encourage you today. If you are feeling hopeless, read God’s word and apply it to your life and let God work through you. You will feel so much better.
Sing: There’s not a friend like the lowly Jesus. No not one, no not one. There is no friend that is so meek and lowly. No not one, no not one. Jesus knows all about our struggles, He will work till the day is done. There’s not a friend like the lowly Jesus, no not one, no not one.
Thought For Today: “And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.” (Romans 5:5)
