Daily Word!: "His Word Is Perfectly Clear!"

God's Word is not difficult to understand, nor is His will hard to discern. He has given us the Scriptures, which reveal His will. And He has placed His Holy Spirit within us to guide us to His perfect will in every situation. The problem is we find it hard to commit to His will "obediently." God's Word is often too strict for us, so we try to find loop holes. We say things like, "I'm a good person, but nobody's perfect." Or we re-invent the interpretation of God's Word to fit our lives. Nowhere in Scripture does God excuse disobedience because His instructions were too vague. His Word is perfectly clear! We know exactly what God wants us to do and we know what we should do. It just doesn't match what we want to do, so we try to find a way around it. In truth, there's only one way...God's way. He never said it would be easy. If it were everybody would be doing it. But His way is the right way and we ought to do our best to follow Him...His way, not ours.

Deuteronomy 30:11
For this commandment which I command you today is not too mysterious for you, nor is it far off.
