A Christian school teacher lost her life savings in a business scheme that had been elaborately explained by a swindler. As he was speaking, she had a gentle check in her heart. However, it sounded so good and promised her more then she had ever had before. She thought about the great things she could purchase with ALL the extra money that was going to come her way. So, she did not pray, or read her bible. She failed to ask the all important questions; “Is the the will of God for my life?” and “How will this effect me and my family for generations to come?”
When her investment dissappeared and her dream was shattered, she went to the Better Business Bureau. “Why on earth didn’t you come to us first?” the official asked. Didn’t you know about the Better Business Bureau?”
“Oh, yes,” sad the lady sadly. “Ive always know about you. But I didn’t contact you because I was afraid you would tell me not to do to.” Sadly, this same situation is played out thousands of times a day across America. The folly of human nature is that even though we know where the true answers lie, “God’s Word” we do not turn there for fear of what it will say.
Friends, Psalms 119:105 tells us, “God’s word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path.” As you pray and read the Bible God’s word will light up your life. Making those difficult and hard to reach answers seem like stepping stones on the way to God’s plan and purpose for your life.
