The Wrong Card

The Wrong Card…

Once a friend and I went to a fairly nice restaurant. When the meal was over, the waitress brought over the check. I looked at it and pulled out my credit card to pay. I then discovered that instead of bringing my credit card – I had accidentally brought my library card. And the restaurant was not accepting library cards.

I tried to figure out how to get out of the situation. I could excuse myself, rush to my car, drive home, rush back – and then pay the check, or I could plead for mercy. Either way, it was embarrassing. There are many cards in this world, but library cards cannot pay for meals or purchase anything else.

So, in the same way, there are many words in this world – but only one Word of God. Your words may be nice, but the Word of God is what has true power. So seek to use the Word of God in every situation, follow it, live it, obey it, and proclaim it. The Word of God is powerful and crucial. Don’t leave home without it!

The law of the Lord is perfect, refreshing the soul. The statutes of the Lord are trustworthy, making wise the simple. The precepts of the Lord are right, giving joy to the heart. The commands of the Lord are radiant,
giving light to the eyes. Psalm 19:7,8

Access the power of the Word, use it, apply it, act on it, declare it, believe it, fight by it, and overcome by it.

Walk daily with God at your side!

Love always,

Ed
