If you were like me at some point in your search for meaning and truth, you may have opened your Bible and asked any or all of the following questions: 
* What does that passage mean?
* How does it apply to my life?
* Why does some of the Bible seem irrelevant?
* I love God, so why can't I understand what He is saying to me through His word?
My personal journey to deepen my connection with God has illuminated a recurring theme in the Bible-God's persistent call for us to apply His word in our lives. This is not a mere suggestion but a fundamental pillar of our relationship with Him. It is a tangible manifestation of our trust and obedience to Him.
Application is not just about learning and knowing. It's about transformation. It's about answering the question, 'Now What?' by challenging us with the right questions and inspiring us to take action. 
When the Light of God's truth is revealed through His word, it may not all make sense immediately. It can feel overwhelming, but when we act in trust and obedience by putting His teachings into practice, we will gradually begin to see and understand more of the truth. 
Jesus spoke of the practice of what He said and taught in Mark 4:23-24, 'If anyone has ears to hear, let them hear. Consider carefully what you hear with the measure you use it will be measured to you and even more.'
Applying God's word is a deeply personal and unique journey for each of us. Transforming a relevant truth into a personal truth compels us to devise a plan and take steps to align our lives harmoniously with God and His word.

The key to personal growth lies in releasing pride, often a product of past mistakes. Reflecting on these can breed worry and hinder progress. However, we can shift our focus to learning from the past, living in faith, finding contentment in God's plan, and trusting in His promises. Through the power of Christ, we can find contentment and hope in all circumstances. By trusting in God, we can find peace in any situation. As Paul shared, he mastered the art of contentment in every situation and drew strength from Christ. Philippians 4:11-12,13,18,19 reminds us that we are capable of all things through Christ who empowers us.

On this episode of 4Inspirational Minutes I share what has guided me on my journey with God as He develops me.
By embracing humility, we acknowledge that our perceived importance should never hinder us from helping others. Galatians 6:3 wisely warns against self-deception, emphasizing the responsibility for our actions and decisions. We must prioritize character over achievements and resist cultural pressures to prioritize material wealth over spiritual development. By resisting these pressures, we open ourselves up to a deeper, more fulfilling spiritual journey. By aligning our actions with God's will, we commit to 'God's Development'—a transformative journey of unwavering faith and perseverance. Patience and wholehearted service to God are essential, leading to lasting results. Let's embrace this call to action with 100% commitment, knowing that our spiritual growth requires active participation and effort.

On this episode of 4Inspirational Minutes I share with you a message about belief in Jesus. There is a song, 'Won't He Do It' by Canton Jones, which deeply moves me by reaffirming God's unwavering power and faithfulness. Recently, my pastor spoke about miracles as a signpost to God's glory, which made me reflect on facing impossibilities with self-reliance. In Mark Chapter 9, the story of the father seeking Jesus's help for his possessed son, I found a powerful source of inspiration. Despite his doubt, Jesus didn't just perform a miracle, He empowered the father to believe. This lesson teaches us to focus on the miracle worker, not the miracle needed, and to trust in Jesus, who can make a way out of no way for a new day in our lives. Let's hold on to hope, for everything is possible for one who believes!
