Pay The Price!

Psalm 40: 7

⁷ Then I said, “Behold, I have come; in the scroll of the book it is written of me...

Have you ever tried to do something hard, without having anyone there to teach you?

Every time I try to counsel someone about life, I realize then just how hard life is.

God has given us every tool to teach us about life.

Then when someone comes to me about the tough issues of life, I wonder how much they study the word of God.

Actually, it’s one of the first questions I ask, when people come to me for help.

Generally, their time of worship or study of the Bible always seems to be on the back burner.

Some of those folks have even said to me... “I can’t tell you the last time I read from the Bible...”

Really? So we’re supposed to “study” to show ourselves approved, and we don’t read the Bible?

The word “study” (thank you Pastor Wayne), means to... “pay the price”.

So if we don’t read our Bibles, how in the world does anyone think they can be approved?

You don’t have to have any special training to understand the directive from God’s Word.

You need the Holy Spirit. Granted, if you don’t have Him, you’re in for a tough road.

The Bible is filled with thoughts about God, and about us.

Maybe we just need to stop thinking about ourselves so much...
