| YOUR ANSWER IS IN THE BIBLE |
| The instructions of the Lord are perfect, reviving the soul...' Psalms 19:7 |
| Worldly success
can leave you empty, but here's something that won't: 'The instructions
of the Lord are perfect, reviving the soul...' Have your plans fallen
apart? Have you made a mess of your life? Do you need direction? Read
this: 'The decrees of the Lord are trustworthy, making wise the simple'
(v. 7 NLT). Have the things you thought would bring you happiness, ended
up bringing you misery? Read this: 'The commandments of the Lord are
right, bringing joy to the heart...' (v. 8 NLT). Are you directionless,
wondering where to go and what to do with your life? Read this: 'The
commands of the Lord are clear, giving insight for living' (v. 8 NLT).
The answers you're seeking are in your Bible. David was a brilliant
soldier, a popular king, and a man with access to all the riches anyone
could desire. But he discovered these things don't bring lasting joy.
What he found instead is that: '...The laws of the Lord are true...They
are more desirable than gold, even the finest gold. They are sweeter
than honey, even honey dripping from the comb. They are a warning to
your servant, a great reward to those who obey them' (vv. 9-11 NLT).
What was David's problem? 'How can I know all the sins lurking in my
heart? Cleanse me from these hidden faults. Keep your servant from
deliberate sins! Don't let them control me. Then I will be free of
guilt...' (vv. 12-13 NLT). What was David's solution? Reading God's Word
daily, feeding his soul on it, and walking according to its precepts.
