 APPLICATION ISSUES

Today's reading: Psalm 15-17

"I said to the Lord, You are my Master! All the good things I have are from you." Psalm 16:2 NLT

While many like to argue over translation issues in regards to the Bible, I want us to think about application issues.

No matter how the Word has been translated from Hebrew/Greek/Aramaic...

No matter whether it's word-for-word, thought-for-thought, forma; equivalence or dynamic equivalence...

No matter the language, 727 different languages for the entire Bible as of 2022, and 1,617 languages for the New Testament...

If we do not and cannot apply what it tells us we have a problem. A very, big problem.

As in this morning's verse.

Too often our good things become our Master.

Not God, but the things God has blessed us with.

Family. Comfort. Stockpile of cash. Health.

Our application error comes in worshiping the things He has blessed up with to the point we find ourselves with less and less time for Him.

So, this morning's challenge is to check your heart and mind for any and all application issues you might be plagued with.
