John 5:1-16 | What am I going to do about it?

There have been moments in my life where I have ineffectively ministered to people because I simply took the populous understanding on certain matters. I did not have an understanding or depth of insight of my own. So I just spewed the same stuff that was spewed to me. As I dove into Scripture and really sought to understand, I saw the error in it. I was prideful. I did not want to be wrong and I did not want to be an outcast among my peers. So I didn't question it. I went along with it without knowing what I was saying.

It has been pressing on me for sometime that it is okay to say, " I don't know." In doing so, it has allowed me to go and get better understanding concerning the Word and seek wisdom from the Lord on how I handle a variety of circumstances. Sure, I could spew the same stuff I have heard and reiterate what was told to me, but as a teacher I have a responsibility to know what it is I am talking about. So I search the Word and am fervent in prayer. I take it very seriously. I do not seek to add to what Scripture says and I certainly do not want to take away from it.

So what will I do? I will let the Word of God be the center of my life, informing my mind and my spirit. I really seek to walk in faith with it and I encourage you to do the same. I pray for us all that we would truly know the Word of God and sincerely believe it.

What application are you putting into place?
