How the Bible helps us

Psalm 119:105 says, “Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.” If we went wrong as children, our parents would correct us. When we are adults, we have to correct ourselves. Thankfully, the scriptures can help us.


Jesus, in Matthew 15:14, called the Pharisees “blind leaders of the blind.” Their problem was that they took the law and added to it. Because of that, they could not show people the true intent of the law, thereby causing their damnation.


The Lord told Joshua, “Only be thou strong and very courageous, that thou mayest observe to do according to all the law, which Moses my servant commanded thee: turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that thou mayest prosper whithersoever thou goest. This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success” (Joshua 1:7–8). It was the law that could keep him on the “straight and narrow,” and it will do the same for us if we are only willing to listen and obey.


The psalmist (probably David) wrote, “I have sworn, and I will perform it, that I will keep thy righteous judgments” (Psalms 119:105-106). The Bible is our greatest helper because it comes from the mind of God who made us. Why don’t you use it’s wonderful wisdom to make your life fuller and secure your eternal future?
