“Seek ye out of the book of the Lord, and
read: no one of these shall fail…” Isa 34:16
Unfortunately
we, as a society, have become inundated with self-help. According to the Dept. of Labor Statistics,
there are 160,000 psychologists and 28,000 psychiatrists in the U.S. alone that
comprise 54 different areas of study. The
books alone are endless; according to Amazon there are 417,000 books available for
self-help that generates a 2.5 billion dollar industry. Given such a staggering array of choices how
would one begin to decide which of those publications are best for them? The
wrong book could actually set one back further.
According to publication laws and industry ethics, psychiatrist and
psychologist cannot claim specific treatment will provide assurance of help for
an individual; only general application and direction. And even such limited assistance is only achieved
by an individual being able to change by their own determined self-will. But, God has a plan, specific and directly
applicable to your individual needs, and goes beyond your limited abilities for
it to occur. For those who truly desire help to change for their better, it
comes through a personal, not occasional visit/s, relationship with the One who
can truly offer change, Jesus Christ! The
greatest self-help book, even though it’s not self based, but Holy Spirit empowered,
is the Bible. God’s words, as here in Isaiah’s prophecies, have “Never” failed
those who have adhered to it. The power it holds is the same power that will offer
change in your life. Do you want 417,000 opinions, or ONE source of truth?
Ones
greatest change will occur we they are willing to change their source of wisdom.
