God's Word is Always The Answer

My son, give attention to my words; incline your ear to my sayings. Do not let them depart from your eyes; keep them in the midst of your heart; for they are life to those who find them, and health to all their flesh. (Proverbs 4:20-22)

It’s such a blessing to know that God has given us an absolute way to receive answers to our problems and challenges. It is His Word. Every answer or solution we need is found in the Bible.
But, so many Christians are not walking victoriously in all areas of their lives. This is because the devil continuously wages a war of distraction against them. He has managed to take them away from the one thing that can bring them victory, the Word. He will do everything possible to prevent them from opening the Bible because he knows that the Word will deliver them.  

These distractions are not earth shaking. They can be very subtle. A lot of things to get done, a lot of TV programs that interest you, or it may take the form of a big problem that makes you feel that you need to focus all your attention on it. The enemy knows that if he can get you to take your eyes off the Word of God, he can keep you from winning the battle.  

When you are going through a tough time, it is not enough to know that God’s answer to the problem is “somewhere in the Bible”. We need to find the scripture in which God has promised the solution. Meditate on it until the truth of that scripture is revealed to you. When you do this, no demon or devil can prevent that Word from God from bearing fruit in your life.

You remember, even Jesus Himself used the Word to defeat the devil in the wilderness. He said “IT IS WRITTEN”. He also said in Matthew 4:4 that “Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every Word that proceeds from the mouth of God.” The way to defeat the enemy is with “IT IS WRITTEN”. But we have to know the Word to say “It is written”.  

Friends, there is simply no substitute for the written Word. God tells us that we will find life and health if we give our attention to His Word and keep it in the midst of our hearts. So, let’s get into the Word and let God’s promises abide in us in a tremendous way.
