Stay Focused On Scripture

We all have varying voices and experiences that impact how we view the world around us. As we seek to understand others, it is important to seek out and learn from other voices, but they all must be viewed through the filter of Scripture. Young reminds us of the sufficiency of Scripture and how through the Word we see a fully revealed picture of who God is and what He has done for us. As you go through life, use the Bible as a lens through which you view everything else.

[quote]Above all, be strong and very courageous to observe carefully the whole instruction my servant Moses commanded you. Do not turn from it to the right or the left, so that you will have success wherever you go. This book of instruction must not depart from your mouth; you are to meditate on it day and night so that you may carefully observe everything written in it. For then you will prosper and succeed in whatever you do.
– Joshua 1:7-8 [/quote]

[quote]The instruction of the Lord is perfect,
renewing one’s life;
the testimony of the Lord is trustworthy,
making the inexperienced wise.
The precepts of the Lord are right,
making the heart glad;
the command of the Lord is radiant,
making the eyes light up.
– Psalm 19:7-8 [/quote]
