Thought for Today

In the days to come, we will be offering a sequence of "Thoughts for Today" that we hope is helpful to you in finding personal peace and freedom. God is interested in each of us as individuals and has not left us to flounder. Within the Bible there are keys to unlocking the pain that each of us has experienced at some point. Within the Bible there are solutions and words of comfort for us to apply to our lives while we walk this journey to become the men and women God intended.

"The true principles of psychology are found in the Holy Scriptures. Man knows not his own value. He acts according to his unconverted temperament of character because he does not look unto Jesus, the Author and Finisher of his faith. He who comes to Jesus, he who believes on Him and makes Him his Example, realizes the meaning of the words "To them gave He power to become the sons of God." - Mind, Character, Personality Vol. 1

And how does looking to Jesus give us power? The first step is to admit, "that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my sinful nature. For I have the desire to do what is good, but cannot carry it out." Romans 7:18. Admitting that I am broken and in need of a doctor is the first step to healing from all that plagues my human nature. This admittal is the beginning of the most incredible journey you could ever imagine! God has promised us the power to overcome, the power to re-script our lives and to create an atmosphere of peace wherever we go.
