The Bible is my guide

Intro

Let’s take a look at how the Bible is the right guiding voice to listen to as we follow God.

Luke 6:46-49 NIRV

46 “Why do you call me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and still don’t do what I say?

Read

47 Some people come and listen to me and do what I say. I will show you what they are like.

God’s Word Deserves Obedience

48 They are like a man who builds a house. He digs down deep and sets it on solid rock. When a flood comes, the river rushes against the house. But the water can’t shake it. The house is well built.

49 But here is what happens when people listen to my words and do not obey them. They are like a man who builds a house on soft ground instead of solid rock. The moment the river rushes against that house, it falls down. It is completely destroyed.”

God's word is trustworthy foundation

God’s Word is a trustworthy foundation. When we are obedient to do what He says, we can trust that no storm of life will crush us. That’s not all, though. God’s Word also guides us when life isn’t stormy.

Psalm 119:101–105 NIV

101 I have kept my feet from every evil path

so that I might obey your word.

102 I have not departed from your laws,

for you yourself have taught me.

103 How sweet are your words to my taste,

sweeter than honey to my mouth!

therefore I hate every wrong path.

105 Your word is a lamp for my feet,

a light on my path.

As we’ve talked about today, true guidance doesn’t just come by hearing or talking about God’s Word. We need to obey and do what it says. As we wrap up, let’s remember to listen as the Holy Spirit helps you apply God’s Word to your decisions this coming week.

Jesus knew storms would come for everyone, even those who are fully committed to Him. He also knew that in the darkness of those storms we would need a guide to make right decisions in this life. That’s why He gave us His Word. It’s a sure foundation and a trustworthy guide, no matter what we might face. Now, it’s up to us to read it, listen to God’s teaching, and then do what He says to us through His Word.
