For so many years I have listened to the advice of people who have operated under their own experience, expectations, ideas.  Thinking the whole time that they were right.  After all they are older, wiser, smarter, right?  Yet, there was something missing in this whole scenario, Scripture.  They had great words of advice.  Years of wisdom.  No God’s Word.

 

Jesus is in the desert for 40 days.  No food. No water.  At the end comes Satan.  He is there to break Jesus.  He offers what is really not his to offer.  Jesus knows this.  Yet, the response Jesus gives Satan for all three temptations, is Scripture.  He quotes Scripture.  Satan leaves defeated.

 

Yesterday, I sat down with a beautiful lady and for an hour, we read Scripture.  It was awesome.  We read promises that God made.  Scriptures that carried us through difficult times, good times, promises, healing.  God’s Word will never return void and yesterday proved that to me again.  Thank you, Beloved.  It came at the right time.

 

To combat the problems of life, God’s Word.  To battle depression, anxiety, addiction, bitterness, loneliness, failure, defeat….. .God’s Word.  Do not rely on others or even yourself.  God’s Word will always have the answer.  God’s Word will always bring victory, life, always.  Think about it.
