THE PROBLEM IS

Today's reading: Mark 11-12

"Jesus replied, Your problem is that you don't know the Scriptures, and you don't know the power of God." Mark 12:24 NLT

Lord,

Jesus was right when He diagnosed my problem.

All those years ago, He spoke the truth that I needed to hear this morning.

My problem isn't with a fallen world, sin-sick people or even with my enemy himself.

My issue is that I don't know Your Word well enough to know Your power!

I worry, when Scripture tells me not to--and why.

I doubt, when my Bible clearly states Your Word is infallible and inerrant.

I attempt to do it all on my own, when the Bible tells me it's a matter of coming alongside You and doing what only You ask.

Forgive me for not believing what You say.

Forgive me for not standing on what Your Word promises.

Forgive me for not sharing with the world the cure that's held in Scripture.

Forgive me for not immersing myself in the pages of my Bible for help, hope, direction and incentive.

Move within me to change that starting today!
