Do you use resources other than the Bible to study God's word? I have heard some people say that they only use the Bible itself when studying God's word. However, I have learned that some books can point us towards verses in the Bible that we need to read. When we use these books in connection with our Bibles, we can learn a lot.
While reading a book on prayer, I read about Psalms 25:4-5. I read it there in the book. Then I looked it up in my Bible. I wanted to make sure it was not paraphrased.
They say "Show me your ways, O Lord, teach me your paths; guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are God my Savior, and my hope is in you all day long." These 2 verses spoke to me because they are a gentle reminder that I must continue to ask God every day to keep guiding me through His plan for my life.
Therefore, I will continue to use not only my Bible, but also devotionals and other books to help me to continue to grow as a Christian. I know that the church I currently attend has several books that I can borrow. Check to see if your church does. It can help point you in a direction that you may not have even thought of.
