“For whatever was written in former days was written for our instruction, that through endurance and through the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope.” Romans 15:4
I struggle most with my own (sinful and broken) human heart. Like Eve, I have access to the Lord of Heaven and Earth. But instead of seeking Him, I often turn my gaze towards lesser things, expecting them to give me comfort and hope.
They never do.
Friends, we have access to the Word of God. It was written to us, written for us. It’s not like any other book. It’s Living and Active, relevant for where you and I find ourselves in this very moment in time.
The news can only inform. God’s Word transforms. Netflix entertains, God’s Word empowers. Comfort food feeds cravings, God’s Word satisfies the hunger of the heart.
Enjoy a good book, a great movie. Take comfort in baking and eating. Stay informed and aware.
But remember where encouragement and hope is found. Don’t forget to feed your soul.
