The Bible is a Book of wisdom(Proverbs), pregnant with lessons, teachings, advice and words of wisdom that are intended to edify and guide us through these busy streets of life where everybody claims to know it all, have seen it all and have experimented it all. Mr ‘I know it all.’
The Bible is a practical handbook full of the realities of life that one should carry around constantly consulting for answers. If we make it a reference Book that has the keys to life, we will hardly regret our actions or bite our fingers to say, ‘if I had known.’
You ask yourself what does the Bible say? You research it and apply it in faith, then you will get a satisfactory answer. God says “..seek and you will find.” (Matt.7:7) The Bible has proven itself over centuries to be a worthy companion. David giving his son, Solomon, advice tells him – “If you seek Him(God), He will be found by you, but if you forsake Him, He will reject you forever.) (1 Chronicles 28:9b)
Today, I want us to listen to apostle Paul’s word of caution to us. “Do not conform ANY LONGER to this world but be transformed by the renewal of your mind.” (Romans 12:2) Simply put: Let us re-examine our lives; have a change of heart. Does it add up? Does it match up? Are we getting it right?
A quiet time with God and His Word will reveal our shortcomings to us. Start today; time is not on our side.
