"Lovenotes from Above: Breaking down the walls to Heaven"
"Renewing of your faith"
How can we even begin to understand what He is all about and why He is here for us for to begin with? It’s simple, so simple—too simple—as simple as putting on the full armor of God. Do what? The full armor of God? By reading and learning what’s in the Bible, we retain the knowledge of how to defend ourselves from the sins and temptations of this world. We equip ourselves for battle by putting on the full armor or protection that God’s Word provides for us. If we don’t know what Jesus has to say about something, then how do we expect to know what Jesus would do, or say, about anything?
How many kids and adults are running around with a little bracelet that says WWJD on it, and they haven’t got a clue as to what it means or how to find out what Jesus would do in any given situation? Half of them have one on because it was given to them or it looked good on some other kid, and they had to have one too. On the positive side, this book is for the kid or adult that really wants to know.
The Bible is an instruction book for life. If I ask you to read the instruction manual for life and you are a female, your eyes are probably wide open; you’re taking notes, highlighting verses and looking for answers.
If we are talking about the typical male here, I will assume that most of you do not read the instruction manual on most anything. That being said, when men run into trouble the first time that mower won’t crank or that new DVD recorder doesn’t record, we call out, “Honey, do you know where the instructions are to the mower? How about to the DVD player? I know they are here somewhere.”
I know people who are like that, and it’s not always just the guys. Gals can make the same egregious errors that men make as well. We don’t go looking for a Bible until there’s a problem, and by then, it’s probably too late to make a positive impact on our lives or to change how we handled our latest dilemma.
What would Jesus do? Find out before the situation arises and be ready. Have your armor on beforehand. In other words, make a habit of reading your Bible, and day-by-day, you will increase your capabilities to fend off attack and gain victory over your enemy.
There is not a situation or problem that is not addressed and answered in our instruction book. However, if we haven’t followed up on our salvation promise, then this is where we need to pick up the walk we began. The moment we asked God to show us the way and take us down the road to a better life, was just the starting whistle.
Now there’s a lifelong journey to take. A journey that never ends because the journey is the true adventure and the destination only exists in the hereafter. Whether or not you have just received salvation and you are on fire for God or you are a down-and-out or depressed Christian who knows there is more to this, stop for a moment and ask yourself, “Am I determined to change my life? Do I want to be happy? Do I have the commitment to see this through?”
If you answered yes to all three of those questions, then read on. You are a candidate for greatness.
