“You have the Bible in your pocket.”
The words came from a video on Facebook when I did a quick scroll. A new friend posts videos and photos regularly of his faith journey. Having had a rugged start to life, his salvation during his teen years started his evangelistic journey. Forgiven much, he loves much.
We do carry the Bible in our pocket. The Youversion app costs nothing but gives everything. At any moment, you can draw from the Bible’s wisdom and let it guide and direct your life. Meditating on God’s word becomes easier when you always have it with you.
During Biblical times, religious leaders wore little boxes on their arms that carried specific scriptures written on scrolls. Now, we have a smaller device containing the entire 66 books, with an easy-to-navigate system allowing us to access what we need when needed.
Applying God’s word to our lives does make us wiser. We avoid worldly pitfalls and stay focused on the truth of the Savior. Meditating on Biblical precepts gives us discernment. Instead of falling for the fake news and partial stories we see online, we recognize the emotional manipulation and can let logic take the lead as we search for truth.
Prayer:
Lord,
Thank You for giving us easy access to Your word and helping us to live wisely. Please help us quickly find what we need, when we need it.
IJNIP. Amen
