How Do I Live?

II Chronicles 15-18

Americans are desperate to know how to live.  Oprah tells us; CNN and Fox News ante up; Ellen and the government are laying it on thick and self-help and self-improvement books abound. 

These four chapters tell us that seeking the Lord is the best way to learn to live.  Many of us don’t know how to “seek the Lord.”  It’s very simple.  You read the Bible with a desire to know Him.   That’s what happens twice in this passage.  In 17:9 it says, “…having the book of the law of the Lord with them; and they went throughout all the cities of Judah and taught among the people.”  Again in 18:6 “…is there not yet a prophet of the Lord here that we may inquire of him?” 

Here is one of the greatest truths you will ever learn: “All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives.  It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right.”  II Timothy 3:16

Before you listen to anyone tell you how to live, you should ensure that they are daily reading the Bible, or better yet, you can read it yourself and get it first hand.  Whatta Deal!!!
