DAY THIRTY-THREE | THE BIBLE AS YOUR GUIDEBOOK
“All Scripture is God–breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.“
II Timothy 3:16-17
Change is occurring so fast that none of us can see it clearly. Yet we have to make vital calls and daily decisions about very important things, all the time wondering if we are making the right ones.
There has never been a time when we have needed a standard more in our lives than we do today. We need a fixed point, a true north, an unchanging truth on which we can base our decisions and not have to worry about changing them. God has given us such a standard. It is the Word of God, the Holy Bible—the always relevant, always available resource.
Unbelievers might say the Bible is irrelevant and outdated. Believers know that “...God means what He says. What He says goes. His powerful Word is sharp as a surgeon’s scalpel, cutting through everything, whether doubt or defense, laying us open to listen and obey. Nothing and no one is impervious to God’s Word. We can’t get away from it, no matter what.”
(Hebrews 4:12 - The Message)
Prayer Focus:
Pray that our fellowship of believers will read and study the Bible daily. Ask God to let its wisdom sink into our hearts and minds and then reflect in our character and actions.
A Prayer from Ron Cameron:
Dear God, thank you for allowing me to be a part of my second family at Dunwoody Baptist Church. I feel blessed to have found this group of believers who has helped and encouraged me to grow
in my faith. It is so exciting to see how the Lord is working in our community and how DBC is a big part of this work. Your love is hard at work in this congregation, and we are ready to share that love. Please bless us with courage and faith and patience as we embark upon this great project. Through You all things are possible! Amen.
Philippians 4:6-8 says; Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your request be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.
