Not knowing the Scriptures causes you to underestimate God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can\u2019t know God if you don\u2019t read the Bible\u2019s stories, written by people who followed Him.\u00a0 The authors of the Bible were people inspired by God to write their tale.\u00a0 Because God gave me a passion for writing; reading, and studying the scripture stirs the desire to write. Applying the teachings of Jesus from the New Testament helps me know His power.\u00a0 Not in the, I can do anything I want sense.\u00a0 But in the God can do anything He desires way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Struggles in life happen because God doesn\u2019t do what we want, although we know He could.  Why doesn\u2019t He do life, according to Beth?  Because Beth doesn\u2019t know everything.  The older I get, and the longer I chase Jesus, the less I know.  I don\u2019t have answers for why suffering and heartache abound, but I trust God does.  And He doesn\u2019t have to ask me for advice on how to run the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

God has infinite power.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Creator of the world can do whatever He wants.  What He wants is to have a relationship with you.  Whatever your life story is, somehow God led you to reading this devotional.  And the one thing He wants you to know, He loves you.  God can\u2019t wait to hear from you today.  His infinite power is at your disposal.  What God can do for you that no one else can, give you peace that surpasses all understanding (Phil. 4:6-7 GW<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But until you turn to Him, you won\u2019t have access to His power. Start today.  John\u2019s gospel is a perfect place to begin reading about God\u2019s love for you.  Get to know God through the inspired writings of those who gave their lives for Him.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lord, how grateful we are for those who have gone before us.  Forgive us for not turning to their stories in the pages of the Bible.  Give us a desire to know You more.  When we pick up our Bibles today, give us insights we\u2019ve never had.  Let Your powerful word\u2019s freshness renew our tired souls.  Written thousands of years ago, Your truth stands the test of time.  You are all-powerful, all-knowing, all-loving.  Let us rest in the knowledge, You are the one in control.  IJNIP. Amen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
