Commited to the Word of God

Have you noticed that daily the world around us is changing? It seems some of the biggest changes in my lifetime have happened in the last few years.

Does your cell phone take pictures, send texts, receive emails, play music, identify callers with photos and on and on? For some of you this is no big deal because this is your generation of technology, but believe me, these are amazing things for those of us with a few years on our bodies.

With all the new inventions or what our world calls advancements it would seem logical that we would be more at peace and more secure than ever before. Is that true in your life? Do those around you seem happier, content, fulfilled and living with purpose?

In spite of all the things that we have to make our life easier or maybe just make it faster I am meeting with women all over our country who are experiencing more stress and frustration than ever. I am hearing of depression that is drowning women from state to state. What is going on?

As we minister to the women God brings in our lives, we must remember there is only one anchor. We have the foundation we need to handle the changes, but the changes themselves cannot be that foundation.

The Word of God is what we need. God's Word is our comfort, guide, hope, wisdom, peace and answer for everything. We come into the presence of our God through His word.

As technology grows it seems we are not less busy, but more busy. It would be easy to spend more time on those wonderful cell phones, in front of that computer or reading that kindle instead of listening to God through His word. Yet, God tells us in Isaiah to "Hear, O heavens! Listen, O earth! For the Lord has spoken." He reminds us to "Hear the word of the Lord." "Listen to the law of our God."

Our world needs God's word to stabilize it, you need God's word to stabilize you, your women need God's word to stabilize them. Stay in the word, share His word, remind those God has given to you for ministry that God's word is eternal and stands forever!
