At work we do lots of things that have to do
with the area of agriculture. We accept customers who come in with various samples
for testing, weeds and plants for identifying as well as home related questions
about cooking, canning, health, meal planning and more. Some of the most useful
things we can offer to clients are the fact sheets created by various
specialists and agents. For instance, a plant fact sheet gives detailed
information regarding the subject including disease prevention, growing
problems and how to increase productivity. One sheet, maybe 2 or 3 pages, can
give the person needing it all the information for making informed, educational
decisions. They do not contain old wives’ tales, home remedies or secular
advice handed down by generations. They are written from an education viewpoint
by people who are educated to know the facts in their particular area.
As believers, we have lots of information
that floats around. Old wives’ tales,
secular information taken as spiritual, good old boy systems of dealing with
things and more. If we’re not careful we
will take this outmoded, outdated and wrong information as the Gospel. But if we take the pure undiluted Word of God
and read it as a fact sheet for believers, we will find ourselves knowing how
to deal with problems, how to respect leaders, how to pray, how to be healed
and more. We can read how to love one
another, how to forgive, how to repent, how to get saved…The list of facts
contained within the Word of God is almost endless. Everything you and I need
for life and godliness is contained in the pages of the Bible.
Oh beloved, have you tried this world’s
system of thinking and found that at the end of the learning you’re still in
the dark? Did you set out to work it all
out and pull yourself up by your own bootstraps? Were you sure that the best
way to alleviate all pain is to quit feeling anything? It may be that you don’t want to know the
Truth because you have dealt with things so long without Him that you’re
wondering if it could be possible to do it any other way. Run to the Lord this
morning! Ask Him to give you His information for the situation at hand. He can
be trusted; He has your best interests at heart! And, you need to know beloved,
that if you will follow His ways and step in His precepts He will bless you
beyond your wildest imagination! He loves you so much that He has given you
everything you need to know to walk in wisdom and live in His light! His love
will teach you, protect you, guide you, and carry you all the way to heaven!
2 Timothy 3:16-17 All
Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make
us realize what is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and
teaches us to do what is right. God uses it to
prepare and equip His people to do every good work.
Joshua 1:8 Study this Book of
Instruction continually. Meditate on it day and night so you will be sure to
obey everything written in it. Only then will you prosper and succeed in all
you do.
John 15:7 But if you remain in me and my words remain in you, you may ask
for anything you want, and it will be granted!
Psalm 119:18 Open my eyes to see the wonderful truths in your
instructions.
