The Word of God provides the illumination and guidance you need to navigate these 'last days'.
Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path. Psalm 119:105
It helps focus your attention on the immediacy of each decision you make and each action you take. The continual distractions of this life can cause your eyes to wander, making it difficult to recognize where to place your next step.
The cares of the world, the delight in riches, and the desire for other things enter in and choke the Word, and it proves unfruitful. Mark 4:19
Immersing yourself in the Word of God keeps you from stumbling off course. Neglecting it causes your 'moral compass' to weaken ... relegating the Lord's directives to vague suggestions. Obedience becomes an error-filled attempt to live the Christian life.
Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the Word of truth. 2 Timothy 2:15
The impact of today's moral relativism and situational ethics makes staying on the right path challenging. The modern mindset says, 'There are many paths to God' ... 'There’s no such thing as absolute truth' ... and 'Just do what feels right to you'. If you heed these voices rather than rely on the truth of Scripture, you'll undoubtedly encounter grief and ruin.
We have the prophetic message as something completely reliable, and you will do well to pay attention to it, as to a light shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts. 2 Peter 1:19
If you study God’s Word frequently, giving it your full attention, it will provide the direction, correction, and wisdom you need ...
All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting, and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work. 2 Timothy 3:16-17
God’s Word has extraordinary power ...
The word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. Hebrews 4:12
Your pilgrimage is through a dark and sinful world, but there is a 'guide' to bring you home. Open your Bible and plumb its depths.
