God’s ten problem-solving devices will stop the outside sources of adversity from becoming stress in your soul. As a Christian, you have an advantage. You have the indwelling of God in you!! And you have His Word, His mind to study in the Bible. Problem-solving device #4 is Biblical Orientation. That’s purposing the Word of God in your life. The Bible is a textbook, it’s not a novel. It was designed to be taught to you by men who have the spiritual gift of pastor-teacher. “Study to show yourself approved unto God, a workman that need not be ashamed rightly dividing the Word of Truth” (2 Tim 2:15). A catchy way to remember this is LAG. Learn God’s Word. Apply God’s Word. And glorify God. The mandate to learn, study, grow is throughout the Bible. “Come to Me all who labor and are heavy-laden and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn of Me (Matt 11:28-29). God’s objective for us in time is to become mature Christians. You can’t grow to spiritual maturity unless you apply the Word that you learn and you can’t learn unless you study the Bible from a qualified pastor. “Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God” (Rom 10:17).
