Applying Gods Word Opens Doors In Our Lives
Our life and direction is often compared to walking a path in the bible. As we follow God’s word, he clears the way for us. Shows us the directions and helps us avoid pitfalls and distractions that so easily ensnares us. He has a map, a road mark that gives us discernment and a blue print of how to navigate the tight curves and bumpy roads of life. It is called the Holy bible. We can learn God’s words for our life as we read the bible and apply it’s truths.
One thing we can be sure of all scripture is inspired by God and has remarkable power to transform you. When you live in obedience to God’s word, you are acting in agreement with his will. This put you in spiriual alignment and in a position to receive his blessings for your life. Without this alignment God cannot bless you, when you do not have God in your life and have not accepted His Son and Our Savior Jesus Christ into your life, you cannot esperience God’s care and direction.
Ask God For Discernment and Wait On Him Prior To A Decision
We need to examine where we are heading. That is, the path or direction that we have chosen to take. As we walk down that path it may seem awkward, the road is bumpy, and it appears that we may have taken a wrong turn; in a word we or lost. How do we get back to the main road and the path that will deliver us to our destination? That is what we do in life; we take the wrong road, because our emotions and our zeal to make something happen always leads us to make decisions that are not entirely the right decisions. We are not on the correct path. Our enthusiasm leads us to do things that are not in the best interest of our family and we need to take stock and wait on the Lord. Wait on his message and be open to hearing it.
It is challenging sometime to here that message. In fact we can miss it. It requires prayer and meditation to discern it. If you are struggling with this, as I often do, Join me in this prayer, perhaps it can help us both:
“Dear Lord, Thank you for your care and for strengthening me with the breath of life today. I give praise and honor to your Holy Name for giving me this day. I know that you are with me for eternity; here doing this life, and the life that awaits me in heaven. Father I pray that you will bless all who read this prayer, that we will all step back and wait patiently for your word and direction. Father I know that we must keep moving for nothing can be accomplished for you through us by inaction. I pray to you that you will work though the people you have placed in our lives so that the pieces of the puzzle can come together to lead us down that right road. The road may be bumpy,but Father you will repair it for the rest of the journey.
I pray Father that you will give all who read this pray the discernment that we will need to make the correct decision, so that Our lives will honor You and Your glory. Help us to protect our family and move forward through each situation in a way that will strengthen us and lead us in the right paths. In this I ask it in the name of our blessed Savior Jesus Christ. I ask it all in Jesus Name I pray, Amen.
