There is so much SELF-HELP information floating around. It is a popular topic of many books, magazine articles and their covers because it helps pull in sales. Even the internet is peppered with SELF-HELP snippets and blogs. I think change can be a really good thing...I didn't always but hey change is inevitable...so now I have resolved to just enjoy (or endure) change. The problem with SELF-HELP is that it contains the word self...and yes there is a lot we can and must do but we need to partner with God. Too many of the SELF-HELP suggestions totally lead us away from our Creator, Lord, and Savior. Everything sounds and looks so enticing...try this...do that...do this...get that...but the Bible says Seek ye first the Kingdom of God, and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. (see Matthew 6:33 KJV) Whatever I need to do...God will show me. He will show me what needs changing and how to change it. I don't need SELF-HELP! I need God's biblical and spiritual help! There are many great teachings (on cd and dvd) and other resource materials in the form of books that should not be confused with SELF-HELP, but as spiritual guidance. The right resources will always give you scriptures to back everything up. The answers to everything is in the Bible. Spiritual help is the very best type of help! It is very easy to get off track and follow other ideals and many of those ideals are focused on idols. Keep your eyes focused on God and His word and principles and you can never go wrong!
