Root Cause

Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

- 2 Timothy 2:15, KJV

Do you only look at God’s Word when something is wrong or perhaps after things have gone completely sideways? Do you find yourself merely treating the symptoms to your problems and never getting after the “root” cause? Perhaps you should consider getting left of problem solving/mitigation by identifying that “you” will have problems, and that “you” should probably study before you come across the problems on the test. So much of your success today is correlated to what you did or didn’t do yesterday. Yet you find yourself only seeking remedies for symptoms instead of cures for the cause. Know that no one wakes up lifting hundreds of pounds initially, but with diligence over time, they are more than able to expertly negotiate circumstances before they become situations…and situations prior to becoming problems. Understand that no one plans to fail, rather fails to plan, and while God’s Word is better than any 911 call, It is even more empowering when used in the beginning, middle, and end of any/all decisions. God’s Word is your road map to success and happiness [Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:6-7, NKJV)]…so stop putting It off and substituting It for poor “sugary”, “fix now” types of words you confuse for remedies. Study early/often and you will never be disappointed; rather, equipped, empowered, and encouraged for every season. Today study God’s Word and build a lasting relationship with Him through It that He may guide you according to His will.

BE BLESSED!
