Power of the Scriptures

Reading the scriptures has always had a powerful affect in my life. It seems like the Lord puts the scriptures that I need to hear just in the right place at the right time. I am sure what is happening is that the Holy Ghost is using whatever scripture I happen to be reading at the moment to help me in just the right way. It is neat how certain scriptures can take on more than one meaning depending on the answers I am searching for at the moment. I have recently noticed that when the Holy Ghost communicates with me, He is usually quoting scripture that I have read before. That is why I think it is so important to read so that He has resources to bring back to our remembrance. Recently the Lord communicated to me through the scripture about how a mother could forget about a baby child long before He would forget about me. As many times as I have read the scripture, I am not sure I ever remember Him explaining it to me as specifically as He did recently. I am glad that it was available for Him to draw upon and I really need to ensure that He has plenty of options to choose from. He also provided more insight into scriptures about weaknesses. He doesn't always steer us away from our weaknesses, but may even lead us to them so that we can overcome them.
