Only By His Word

Good Morning!! How does one turn their life around? Find their path, and purpose, in life?

Once we've moved past the point, that so many young people struggle with,...questioning authority and wondering why mental, emotional, and physical purity is so important,...we know that we are sinful and foolish before a Holy God. We stop questioning the need to cleanse our ways,...but then begin to seek the best means to accomplish this.

How can a young person live a clean life? By carefully reading the map of your Word.—Psalm 119:9 (MSG)

And just how is it to be done? By taking heed to,..and by internalizing and personalizing, the Word of God. On one hand this may be disappointing, if you hoped for a more entertaining, less demanding solution. Nothing less than starring into the mirror of God's Word, will show us the genuine flaws in our character and mindset. But on the other hand, it's greatly encouraging. The solution we seek is so readily available! We don't have to climb to the top of a mountain in Tibet, or have a certain social or religious pedigree, or attain some academic status, in order to know and understand how to purify our life, and be more pleasing God.

The solution is simple, but it's not easy.
Take heed to, study hard, God's Word, the Bible. Make His wisdom your own, and live by it.

Father God, help us to unlock the wisdom and power of Your Word. And give us the strength to live by It. In the name of Jesus Amen.

"When you begin to align your goals with God's goals, and your desires with God's desires,

...you will rid your life of anger, anxiety, and depression."
