Are we really looking to God for all the answers? This is something that God has really talked to me about lately. Are we looking to Him to answer our every need? Look at all the blogs out there. Now this is NOTHING against blogs, I read them and have gotten a lot of help from them. I believe God can use them to speak to us. I know in my case He has. But, are we turning to them first?? Or are we running to His word? Look at how many "Christian" self help books are on the shelves in your local Christian bookstore. There are more books on weight loss, diet, decorating, home-keeping, homeschooling then there are commentaries on the scripture! Now like I said, God can and has certainly used people to help other people. But, my question is, is it an answer to your prayer? Did you go to Him FIRST for help? Or did you immediately turn to the nearest bookshelf on the topic you were searching for answers in? I am guilty as charged, and as a result, I am getting rid of most of the books I have on the "various" topics I struggle in. God has told me, in my spirit and through His word, that He will meet my needs. I have gone through different seminars, read hundreds of books, I "know" what to do. Now, God has reassured me, and is helping me, put these plans into action. Now some of my favorite books with great homeschooling or organizing ideas I will hang on to, but, its only because I know now I will go to Him first and He will lead me in the right direction. How about you? Are you going to run to Him first the next time? ~Cheryl |
