Day 280
Psalm 119:99
"I have more understanding than all my teachers: for thy testimonies are my meditation."
Many times we are praying for answers that we will not get unless we go to the answer book God gave us. The psalmist found out something we all need to learn - the answers for life's questions are in God's Word. According to Psalm 119:99, a student who studies the Word of God can become more intelligent than his teacher. The Bible is an untapped resource of knowledge and understanding. Of course, we need the Holy Spirit to guide us and help us unlock the truths that are hidden for us.
Through the scriptures, we can solve spiritual, physical, social, emotional and financial problems. The Bible has even been found to have answered scientific questions long before we knew those questions are asked. Medical scientists are discovering what the Bible revealed thousands of years ago. It is time we recognize the value of the book and spend more time looking into it.
Psalm 119:105 says, "Thy word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path." If we would develop a better attitude about the Bible and search it for answers, expecting to find them, we may be amazed at what is actually inside its covers. It may be a good idea to get a diary or a log and begin to write the questions we want answered. Then we can ask the Holy Spirit to guide us to the scriptures that will give us the answers we seek. Next, we can begin reading and patiently seeking until we find. After a few years of recording our results, we may prove to ourselves that the Word of God is indeed a light to our pathways.
I will turn to the Bible for the answers I seek in every area of my life. With the Holy Spirit guiding me, I will find everything I need. God's Word is my road map.
