What Does the Bible Say About It?

Adapted from The Power of Being Thankful

Now the Berean Jews were of more noble character than those in Thessalonica, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if what Paul said was true.

 Acts 17:11 (NIV)

There are many things that influence our thoughts, and our own desire is one of them. I have discovered when I desire something in a strong way, it is easy for me to think God is telling me to get it. For this reason, we must always check to see if what we feel led to do lines up with the Word of God. God does often lead us by desire, but we want to be sure it is not merely fleshly desire.

Any idea, prompting, or thought that comes to us needs to be compared to the truth of Scripture. The Bible is written as a personal letter to each of us. God speaks to us, ministers to our needs, and directs us in the way we should go in His written Word. So, if we think we have heard a word from God, we can check to see if it lines up with Scripture and be thankful that we have the infallible Word of God to live by.

Prayer of the Day: Father, I am thankful for the truth of Your Word. When I feel a prompting in my spirit, I am grateful that I can make sure it lines up with Scripture. Today, I will listen for Your voice and live in accordance with what You tell me and what You have written in Your Word.
