Scripture Retreat With Elizabeth GeorgeSample

God’s Word is exciting and energizing. It is even thrilling! Why? Because it is life-changing and heart-transforming. Today the Bible is my lifeline. For the first twenty-eight years of my life, I turned to everything but the Bible for help. Ever since the day I discovered the truth about Jesus Christ in the Bible, I’ve relentlessly devoured His Word. My appetite for the life-giving, life-saving, life-sustaining truths in Scripture has only increased as the years have gone by.

Proverbs 2:6 says, “The Lord gives wisdom; from His mouth come knowledge and understanding.” What you read between the covers of your Bible is wisdom for all your trials and for all the days of your life. Stand on it. Live by it. And teach it to your children every day so that they, too, have the thrill of a transformed life. 

Lord, Your Word leads me to the refuge of Your heart. It fills me with passion to love You and compassion for loving my children. Transform me, Lord. Amen.
