God's Word Will Equip You!
Many times we try to do things our way and do not seek God's will for a particular situation. The benefit of first seeking the Lord is that He promises to direct your life in the best possible direction as we read in Proverbs 3:5-6, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths.”

Unaware that his patient arrived in his office, a famous surgeon was caught reading a book intensely while waiting for an important patient.
Curious. The patient asked his doctor what book he was reading. “Was it a new medical journal? Was it a new scientific finding? “
No. “It is a Bible.”, he exclaimed.
His patient asked, “Will your Bible help you before my operation or after?”
His reply. “During.”

The surgeon knew that his skill and intellect are nothing without God’s power and favour. He understands that only God has the power to guide him while he does surgery on the operating table.
Imagine him splicing and cutting with his hands while his mind talks to God. He remembers the words of the Bible about being a vessel of blessing and being anointed to help people get better.
Listen, you may not be a surgeon, a lawyer, or a CEO of a multi-million-dollar corporation. You are an ordinary citizen with no title or prestige. But…not having these does not disqualify you from doing great things for God. You can do everything through the power of God.
Philippians 4:13 says, “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.”
Receive strength from God Himself and do the things that glorify His name. Read more of God’s word so you will be equipped to face life head on. Lastly, meditate on what the Bible says just like how the surgeon did.
“Keep this Book of the Law always on your lips; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful.” – Joshua 1:8.
Stay Blessed!
