Truth #11 from Lies Women Believe is God's word is sufficient to lead me, teach me, and heal me. God's word is alive and powerful. It is sufficient to meet any need I have. People around me don't need to know my opinions or suggestions. I need to point them to the Truth of His Word so that they will know His commands, His promises, and His ways.
Psalm 19:7 "The law of the Lord is perfect, reviving the soul. The statues of the Lord are trustworthy, making wise the simple." Psalm 119:105 "Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path." Hebrews 4:12 "For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow. It judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart."
I know that the Bible is powerful and has the ability to change me. But for some reason, I still feel the need to read books about topics on my heart instead of just seeking God's Word. The truth is, even if I never read another marriage, parenting, or Christian book, the Bible would be sufficient to teach me all I need to know. God may use other books to help point us to His Word, but we should never let other material take the place of what He has given us.
