God’s ruler keeps me straight and strong. God’s Word is a ruler that helps us mark out straight paths for our lives. And the Bible is the standard that never changes. It’s what we use to measure all things spiritual. How are you measuring up?

The Bible

The Bible

     The Bible is God’s Word to us! God chose just the right writers and gave them the ability to create one living Book, which perfectly speaks His exact Word straight to your heart. God's Word promises us He would never leave us! He loves us so much that he wrote a book just for us.

     It is God’s way of giving us a flashlight to walk the path of life! It tells us EVERYTHING we need to know. It tells us what to do to be happy. It tells us what to do if people are mean to us, or if we are afraid. It tells us what is right and what is wrong. It keeps us out of trouble. It tells us the right way to go and will even light our way. The Bible is our light in darkness. Darkness is like sin and all the bad things in the world. Light is everything that is good that God made, including God's rules.

     By reading the Bible it is like always having a flashlight with us. God gave us the Bible so that we may be able to find our way, and know what is good, and right. Pick up the Bible and read about God and you will see ALL the wonderful things He has done! He made us and has given us everything!

We use soap for cleaning all kinds of things: hands, hair, clothes, dishes. Daily bathing with soap keeps dirt and body oils from clogging the pores of our skin. But remember everybody also needs spiritual cleansing. If we want God to forgive us and clean away our sins, we first have to confess them. That means, sincerely praying a one-sentence prayer: “I was wrong, and I’m sorry.” Then, because God’s Son, Jesus, has already died for our sins, God forgives us. That doesn’t seem like too big of a deal, but you’d be surprised at the number of people who refuse to come clean with God. Don’t be like them. Admit your dirt. Let Jesus’ soap scrub you clean and give you hope.

Sometimes when people go fishing, a fish bites so hard that it takes the bait “hook, line, and sinker.” That means the fish not only swallows the bait and hook, but it swallows even the little metal sinker that keeps the hook below the water. That’s one hungry fish! When we say that a person swallows something “hook, line, and sinker,” it means the person believes everything about it. That’s how God wants us to believe his Word, the Bible. He wants us to take it in “hook, line, and sinker” so we understand it, believe it, and obey it. God’s Book keeps us away from sin and hooked on the right stuff. I’ve swallowed the Book hook, line, and sinker.

An anchor is a heavy, metal gizmo that’s attached to a rope and thrown overboard to keep a boat from moving. Jesus is the anchor that holds on from above. It’s as if Jesus has a super-long rope tied to his waist that hangs down to earth all the way from heaven. This rope is permanently tied around your waist, so you’re connected to Jesus no matter where you go. Jesus is my ready, steady anchor.

Keeping our mouths shut at the right times may sometimes feel like one of the hardest things we need to do. Have you said something lately that made someone feel really bad? If so, ask God to forgive you. Then go to that person, admit that you were wrong and ask for forgiveness. This will take a lot of courage, but you can do it. I’m learning to zip my lips. Help me be like You, filled with mercy, compassion, and unfailing love. Take control Lord and guard my lips!

Have you ever stopped to think about all the different kinds of shoes in the world? We’ve got baseball shoes, basketball shoes, soccer shoes, tennis shoes, even jogging shoes. And then there are sandals, clogs, sneakers, loafers, moccasins, boots, and bedroom slippers. The list could probably go on forever, but all shoes have one main purpose: to protect our feet while we’re getting to where we’re going. As Christians, we too, have a primary purpose: to share the Good News about Jesus wherever our shoes take us. You see, people wearing shoes that go and share the gospel are beautiful in the eyes of God. Some beautiful person brought it to you. And you can take it to others. I use my shoes to share the Good News.
