Romans 10:11
As the Scripture says,
"Anyone who trusts in him will never be put to shame."
 
 

Thoughts for Today:

 
In our passage today Paul quotes Isaiah 28:16b: "...the one who trusts will never be dismayed." The King James Version of this passage is: "...he that believeth shall not make haste." So what is the appropriate translation? Is it: never be put to shame; never be dismayed; or not make haste? What is the difference? All of these translations encapsulate the meaning of the Hebrew word chuwsh, which means to "flee with alarm".

In other words, Jesus is never going to embarrass, He will never disappoint or discourage, and we won't need to rush off in a hurry because we're either humiliated or disheartened. Why? Because Scripture works. It works in our lives and it certainly works when shared with other people. We never have to wonder, "I hope they understand, I hope it takes, I hope they don't think I'm a fool." Have confidence, Scripture works. Trust in Him! Whoever submits to Jesus' Lordship will never be disappointed. His Word guarantees it.
 
 

Questions to Ponder:

 
I just love writing and teaching about Scripture. Why? Because it works!     
I see lives changed, new careers found, marriages healed, children reconciled with parents, new friendships discovered, and people just simply doing so much better than they were before. Scripture works.
Is Scripture working for you?
Is it in your heart, in your mind and in your life?
What about at work? At home? In your car?
Surround yourself with Scripture and you too will experience the goodness and provision of the Lord.
