I view everyday as a step towards destiny fulfilment. As the days become weeks, months and into the year that is 2010 it's important that we take each step in the right direction. Many times we encounter regret because of an error on our part. The best way to avoid regret is to be careful when taking steps. Yes, life is full of risks and many times only the risk takers enjoy life in its fullness, but we still have to take calculated risks. Somebody asked me why I emphasis the Word in the blog often. Simple, the Word is life. Without the Word of God we are but nothing.
Today we see another reason why we need the Word. Job understood the power of the light that is found in having an intimate relationship with God. The Word of God illuminates our darkness. Job testified that when God's lamp shone over him then he succeed in everything that he did. Studying the Word gives us light that illuminates our darkness. The Bible is God's manual for life and many people are living life without reading the manual which gives us the modus operandi for life.
Job also states that his relationship with God resulted in receiving friendly counsel. Is it any wonder that in the later end of the book of Job we see God speaking and correcting him? Let me ask a question, whom do you seek counsel from first when faced with a challenge? Let God's counsel be the foundation for any counsel you will get in life. Godly counsel is based on the Word.
A third advantage is that obedience to the Word of God leads to prosperity. Many people are seeking for pleasure before obeying. God cannot be short changed. I encourage you to seek the Word, obey the Word and watch God manifest on your behalf. I would rather have the Author of Life with me than face live without God. Poverty begins when you disown God by not obeying. Partial obedience is not obedience.
I urge that you take every step in life with the Word of God as the anchor. Your security should be on the foundation of the Word and not anything else. Stand on the Word, walk by the Word, live by the Word, engage life by the Word and God will manifest for you as He cannot fail His Word.
