I read recently that “it is one thing to believe in God; it is quite another to believe God.” Thus if we believe God, we can seize His words into our lives such that our lives will be changed. This is so key; take His Word, believe it and apply it to our lives and we will see a totally changed life.
God will never abandon us. Many of us have gone through situations that I’m certain we have felt we were left alone. I know this because I have gone through it. I have cried out questions such as, “Where are you? Why me? Why have you left me?” Questions and thoughts of desolation, aloneness and despair.
But, what has God said? “I won’t leave you, nor forsake you.” Hebrews 13:5. “I am with you always, even until the end of this age.”Matthew 28:20
His Word is our guide. His Word is the compass that tells us which way to go. His Word is the mirror that tells us to take a good look at ourselves and change and adjust that which needs it. His Word is our guide that leads us and carries us when necessary to get where we need to be. His Word tells us daily what we need in that moment of question and doubt. His Word does not abandon us.
We cannot live the life without His Word in it daily. How can I have “ this mind be in me” without the living Word to depend on? It cannot be done. I tell you I still work on it…every day!
