and a light for my path.
I have the ability to make simple jobs really complicated. Well, at least when I start a project I think it will be simple, but it usually seems like something makes it complicated. Many times the complication comes down to the fact that I might now have the right tool to do the job. But instead of just biting the bullet and paying for that right tool, I often try to figure it out with what I have. Those home improvement projects that don't just take one trip to Home Depot on a Saturday, but two trips.
Many times in our spiritual journey it is easy to try and manage our relationship with God without the most essential tool, God's Word. We get too busy to spend time reading. We get too prideful and think we know the Word well enough, we really don't need to study it more. We doubt God's ability to lead us through the Word. Fasting, praying and seeking God for His blessing in our lives in 2013 will be powerless without adding God's Word into the mix.
So many times we choose to walk around in the darkness of this world when God says simply: "His Word is our Light!" If you are not sure which direction to go with your life, the first thing to do is not visit with your friends and seek wise counsel. The first thing to do is not to make a list of pro's and con's and try to make a logical decision. The first thing to do is to read the Word and ask God to use the Word to direct your path!
