Scripture
The grass withers, the flower fades, But the word of our God stands forever. Isaiah 40:8
Thought
There is not much in the world that we can trust. Only God can be fully depended upon to be good and to stay good forever and always. There is enormous security in that but resting fully in that promise requires faith and a surrender of the other crutches we use to prop ourselves up. However, the reward of such radical faith is enormous. When we fully lean on God, and seek Him in His Word, then we give Him the opportunity to show us just how good and trustworthy He is. While everything we see right now will one day disappear, our God will stand forever and His Word will remain true.
Ponder
What crutches do you lean on right now that replace the Bible? Consider praying today for the Holy Spirit to help you lean on the One who will never fail, and to seek His Word, not the world.
Pray
Dear Father, I lift up my hands and give You the glory today. This world is full of challenges and often I want to take things into my own hands because it’s comforting to feel like I am in control. But God, Your way is far better than mine. I surrender to You today, Lord. Help me as I seek Your Word over the world’s advice and over my own wisdom. In Jesus Name I pray, Amen.
