One of the most commonly used phrases in our culture today has to be, "I've got an app for that on my phone."  It seems that you can hardly converse, now days, with your friends about music, maps, or menus without someone pulling out their phone, tapping on an icon, and sticking their phone six inches from your face.  For those of you who may not know, the term "app" has been used as shorthand for "application" in the IT community for decades but has now become newly popular because of mobile applications.

What if we were that anxious to share the help our God offers?  Imagine having a conversation with a friend and discovering they are struggling with some issue of temptation or they are seeking a new direction in their lives.  Would we be just as quick and just as excited about guiding them to the Lord?  "God's got an app for that" we'd say, and then we would lovingly share with them meaningful and applicable truth from God's Word.

The Bible says, "All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right" (2 Tim. 3:16 NLT).  Let me encourage you to set aside time each day to read God's Word and pray about how you can apply it to your life.  Then as you allow God's Word to enter your mind and work its way out through the "apps" of your life, you'll have more confidence in Christ to communicate and help others through you.  Go ahead.  Try it.  God's got an app for your life and mine. 

May the Lord bless you,
