Where do you turn for answers?

Have you seen the commercials for this new company that answers any random questions you might have via text messaging? Their commercials are funny and hip promising to reply to any question you have with a prompt answer from their staff of agents. I was really tempted to try this service by sending a real deep question about a religious matter like "How do you know that God is real?" just to see what they would say. I also was just as tempted to send in something silly like "How can I get my dog to quit barking every time someone calls to talk to my wife?"

So, where do you turn for answers? While this service is fast and convenient, real answers to your toughest questions probably won't come that way. It seems to me that people are really lost or searching for somewhere to find answers that they are looking for. For Christians, we have been given two tried, tested and true outlets. They are prayer and God's book, the Bible.

How often do you go there for answers? Do you go there first before asking everyone else around you what they think? The Bible says this: Psalm 66:18-20

"If I had cherished sin in my heart, the Lord would not have listened;but God has surely listened and heard my voice in prayer.Praise be to God, who has not rejected my prayer or withheld his love from me!"

and also Isaiah 55:11 says "so is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it."

Remember these two promises about prayer and the Bible the next time you need some answers...and that's what i'm talking about.
