The Power of Scripture

I have, quite frankly, been continuing to struggle with writing. This has frustrated me as blogging/writing is something I genuinely enjoy doing. Busyness has crept in along with distractions and, quite frankly, sin. I have just felt like my head has been under water and I have nothing relevant to say (not that I do, but often God grants something).

Today, though, I realized part of my problem - I have not been in Scripture (the Bible) as I should. I sat down and just read and soaked in truth. Allowed it to encourage and uplift my heart, allowed it to speak to me and reprove me, allowed it to alter my thinking and bring it in line with truth. In all that, I realized how much I have been studying the Scriptures (a valuable thing), but I had not been engaging in a relationship with Jesus through the Scriptures outside of these studies.

It is amazing how quickly I forget the truths of God's love and care for me, what my love and care for others is to look like, and so many other things when I go away from the Scriptures. I need these reminders. I need the truth constantly in front of me, the Spirit searching me through Scriptures.

May we learn to value, treasure, and be drawn to the wonderful truths of Scripture.
