Title: The Book of Solutions
MEMORIZE: But he who looks into the perfect law of liberty and continues in it, and is not a forgetful hearer but a doer of the work, this one will be blessed in what he does. James 1:25
READING DEUTERONOMY 30:10-14
[10] if you obey the voice of the Lord your God, to keep His commandments and His statutes which are written in this Book of the Law, and if you turn to the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul.
[11] “For this commandment which I command you today is [a]not too mysterious for you, nor is it far off.
[12] It is not in heaven, that you should say, ‘Who will ascend into heaven for us and bring it to us, that we may hear it and do it?’
[13] Nor is it beyond the sea, that you should say, ‘Who will go over the sea for us and bring it to us, that we may hear it and do it?’
[14] But the word is very near you, in your mouth and in your heart, that you may do it.
MESSAGE
Usually, a manufacturer creates a manual along with his/her product. This serves as a guide to the user on the operations of the product. Similarly, God inspired the writing of the Bible and made it our manual to serve as a guide on how to live.
The Bible also contains the solutions to all problems in the world today. For example, years ago, I tried solving a mathematical problem for my Ph.D. thesis, and I got the solution after reading the story of the Israelites and the Red Sea in Exodus 14.
It was a very complex equation that confused me, so I took a break to read my Bible. The Holy Spirit led me to read the story about how Moses parted the Red Sea. Then, He instructed me to divide my equation into two, solve them differently, and bring the two answers together, just like the Red Sea.
That was how I solved the difficult problem and got the correct answer. Beloved, the more you study God’s word, the more you will see solutions to problems and become an asset to the world.
KEY POINT
You will know the mind of God more when you read His word.
HYMN 14 – STANDING ON THE PROMISES OF GOD
- Standing on the promises of Christ our King,
Thro’ eternal ages let His praises ring:
Glory in the highest, I will shout and sing,
Standing on the promises of God.
Chorus
Standing, Standing,
Standing on the promises of God my Saviour
Standing, Standing,
I’m standing on the promises of God.
- Standing on the promises that can-not fail,
When the howling storms of doubt and fear assail
By the living word of Go I shall prevail,
Standing on the promises of God. - Standing on the promises I now can see
Perfect, present cleansing in the blood for me;
Standing in the liberty where Christ makes free,
Standing on the promises of God. - Standing on the promises of Christ the Lord,
Bound to Him eternally by love’s strong cord,
Overcoming daily with the Spirit’s sword,
Standing on the promises of God.
