In these troubled times there is comfort and hope available to you. You don't have to be discouraged by what you hear on the news because if you believe in Jesus, there is GOOD news! That good news is in the Bible.
The Words inside the Bible aren't like those in a novel. God's Word is alive and full of power. It has the ability to change your life. If you commit to spending time reading, receiving and applying it, over time you will experience that transforming power in your heart, mind, and in all aspects of your life. Peace and joy will increase and your faith will become stronger.
Trusting in God's Word will open doors you never imagined. It will drive defeat out of your life. Isn't it time that you take a closer look at what the Word of God can do for you?
But I warn you. It's going to take some work. There are no magic formulas involved here. You will have to set some time aside for the Word each day. You will need to get away to a quiet place to read the scriptures and ponder them. And, you will have to practice it.
But when you think about it, that's a small price to pay for a life of victory, isn't it? It's like investing $1 and getting back $1,000,000.
Using a Bible devotional is one of the easiest ways of establishing a daily time of fellowship with God. Most devotionals contain a scripture for meditation and a short lesson. Devotionals provide a focus -- a subject you can mull over throughout the day. With a devotional, you never have to wonder what you are going to read that day. You have a set plan right at your fingertips.
You should also look for Christian websites that offer Bible study resources such as ezines, or an online Bible study that is updated daily or weekly. Some websites even post a daily scripture, inspirational stories, and Christian humor.
I know that God's Word can increase your faith, fill you with hope and change your life. I know that having a daily walk with God that includes the study and meditation of His Word can be rich and satisfying. My own life has dramatically changed for the better because of the wisdom I've gained from God's Word. That wisdom can be yours as well.
