SEARCH THE SCRIPTURES

If ever we needed the Lord before we sure do need him now!  You know that song?  It is my theme song for 2020 and it actually should be the theme song for our life.  Lately, I've been struggling with keeping connected with God.  I feel at times that I am not adequate, that somehow I am a failure when it comes to worship and service to God.  But then when I open the Bible and I start to read certain verses, I am without a doubt sure that God is not done with me. I am comforted by scripture and I know that God loves me and will never leave nor forsake me.

I've recently started Bible journalling and it helps me to search the scriptures and discover many treasures that help me grow spiritually.  God really is our constant and He has our backs, we just need to keep in the word then we can't go wrong.  


Here's a nice little paragraph from a book I read called "Christ's Object Lessons":


"Those who desire to find the treasures of truth must dig for them as the miners

dig for treasure hidden in the earth.  No halfhearted, indifferent work will avail.  

It is essential for old and young, not only to read God's word, but to study it with whole hearted earnestness,

praying and searching for truth as for hidden treasures. Those who do this will be rewarded, for Christ will quicken the understanding...

Never give up the search until you have ascertained your relation to God and His will in regard to you."


Prayer:  Lord, you are my hiding place and I just praise you and give you all the glory,  When I am weak you make me strong, You are worthy to be praised. I thank you for your word and for your love for me.  I pray that you will help your people to keep in the word and to know that you are always with them.


In Jesus name I pray....Amen
