"Receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls. But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves…. 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 1:21, 22, 25
Other voices will speak into every situation under heaven, but the question remains, “What does God's Word say?” In a world full of competing opinions, we need a reliable source of truth. God's Word stands as our ultimate authority, providing clear guidance and wisdom for every situation we face. While other voices may change with the times, Scripture remains constant and trustworthy. When we make God's Word our final authority, we build our lives on a foundation that cannot be shaken. It's not outdated or irrelevant - it speaks directly to our modern challenges with timeless wisdom and truth.
Reflection Question - How do you respond when God's Word challenges popular opinions or cultural norms?
Prayer - Lord, help me to trust Your Word as my ultimate authority. Give me courage to stand on Your truth, even when it goes against the current of popular opinion. Thank You for being my unchanging foundation. In Jesus’ Name, amen.
