Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. (Proverbs 3:5).
There're people who choose not to be happy because of
certain experiences they've had. And interestingly, they try to make
other people victims of their disgruntled state, or blame others for
their misfortune. But life isn't that way. No one has the responsibility
to make you happy. You're the one to choose to be happy, and enjoy your
life, no matter what.
The Bible says count it all joy when you go through diverse
tests (James 1:2). You have to learn to depend on, and use, the Word.
The Word of God provides solution to every problem. Trust the Word. When
you have questions in your mind, when you face difficulties, it's the
Word you need.
When some people face dire situations, they sit somewhere,
feeling sorry for themselves and worrying. That doesn't help. When you
find yourself in an unpleasant situation, look to the Word; search the
Scriptures for answers. What God wants is for the Word to be in your
spirit, and produce in you the victory mentality. No wonder He says,
"Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom..."
(Colossians 3:16).
The Word in you will make you what it talks about! Study
and meditate on the Word consistently. Listen to messages again and
again. Take it in; digest it, and let it become mingled with your
spirit! Listen for what the Holy Spirit will tell you to encourage you,
or to give you direction. There's no problem that has no solution.
Through the Scriptures, you receive light; God's Word has the ability to
bring illumination to your spirit and give you insight into reality.
Through the Word, you'll find that there's nothing you
can't do, and there's nothing you can't have! God's Word is the true
light (John 1:9) that reveals who you really are, and your inheritance
in Christ; let that light guide you in all things.
PRAYER
Dear Lord, thank you for the gift of your Word, which is in my heart and in my mouth. You're the glory of my life; and today, I experience the power and influence of your Word in all I do. I'm refreshed and energized for the transcendent life, in Jesus' Name. Amen.
