Go-To Scripture
What’s one of your favorite Scriptures that you’ve memorized ? You know…the one you’ve “hidden in your heart” ( Psalm 119:11 ), as assurance of God’s love, His power and presence. I’ve hung onto ( Matthew 6:27 ) for a long time now…where Jesus tells us, “Who of you by worrying can add a single day to his life?” I choose to trust God to handle my problems … to enable me to get through them and to supply me with exactly what i need at any given time. This Scripture has given me peace, even when things didn’t make sense. Storms develop, but God is greater than any storm …” What manner of man is this that even the wind and the waves obey him ?” ( Matthew 8:26-27 ) I don’t wanna hear Him say,” You of little faith; why are you so afraid ?” I’ll trust Him with every circumstance and situation I’m in. If you’re like me, you have several “go-to” Scriptures that fit whatever you’re facing. Knowing that God’s Word applies to every situation we’ll face in life is a comfort ! It’s as if God knew we’d face certain situations, so He went ahead of us and laid out the necessary “tool” to tackle the job, meet the need and fix the problem ! I just really believe alotta people are neglecting these “tools” and trying to “fix” things with makeshift items. The handle of a crescent wrench wasn’t made to be a prybar. A Phillips head screwdriver wasn’t intended to remove a torque screw. Neither is your “lost” friend’s advice meant to save your marriage or draw you closer to Christ. An alcoholic drink ain’t gonna fix your problems. That “greener-lookin grass” on the other side o’ that fence…turns out it’s just astroturf ! Whenever we tire of playin Satan’s game, the only logical thing to do is to “surrender” to God’s will and purpose for our lives. A relationship built on faith in Jesus is gonna open SO many doors for godly living, it’s gonna be mind-boggling ! His grace is sufficient , but we’ve gotta meet Him halfway. We’ve gotta get past everything we’ve heard that contradicts God’s word. Compromising ain’t an option ! It’s God’s way or bust. It ain’t up for debate ! Either you’re in or you’re out ! What’ll it be ?!? Your future depends on your decision. Nobody but “you” can make it. If Scripture dont make sense to you when you read it, ask the Author for understanding. God never intended us to read it and walk away still as ignorant as we were when we arrived at it. If you really want to know what He’s saying and how to apply it to your living, just ask Him ! He’ll see your hearts desire and go from there ! Try Him … He’s waiting.
