Did you ever stopped to think about the Bible?
I have lately and it saddens me. I remember when I was around 10+ years my parents had a bible written in German. I couldn't make "head's or tail's" out of it. So I ignored it. When I was around 15 years old I received a small bible from church. No one ever looked at one in my family so I tossed it in the corner to have dust pile up on it. After I was married, went to my husband church, but still never really looked in side a bible. I would listen to preacher's, teachers of the Word, and gone to some bible classes. Not once was I interested enough to read the Word for myself.
How sad I must have made Jehovah God feel. He gave me a free gift, "LIFE" and I was so blind to the fact that He'd did this. It wasn't till years later and two divorces did I start paying attention about the Word of GOD.
Just think how many un-happy years I spent loosing out of a stress free life. How much pain I endured because I wanted to be liked. I was a follower for a long time until I wised up and started taking a chance on GOD JEHOVAH and not on what my "fair-feathered" friends would tell me. Why I called them that, You asked? Will once I stopped doing everything for them and got a brain and started figuring it out, as long as I did what they wanted, I had friends. Once I stopped being a "gopher" and or being used by them to benefit them, I was tossed aside.
YES IT HURT BIG TIME!
HOWEVER, at the time I didn't think so, but that was the best thing that could have ever happened to me. Because of the "BIBLE" I learned through the years who "JEHOVAH GOD, CHRIST JESUS, AND THE HOLY SPIRIT" really is.
I was told it was a " FAITH WALK". You'd walk by Faith and not by sight. IT was hard to grasp at first and hard to swallow to allow an invisible SPIRIT lead and guide me to a happier way of living. Will you know me, I was curious and willing to see if GOD was out there and really did care for me like the WORD said.
As far as I am concern, the whole BIBLE is GOD's true Word and HE IS STILL IN CHARGE TO THIS VERY DAY. Don't believe me, check it out for yourself. You must find the real truth for yourself. You can do it if you try. It will be interesting what conclusion you'll come up with.
The Scriptures record God's thoughts, words, desires, and purposes as well as His interventions in human history. The climax of His revelation is encompassed in the coming of His Son as our Savior, His plan of redemption and Christ's future return as KING of KINGS.
Just think amazingly, the Scriptures people, recorded over period of about 1,400 years! Each book of the Bible reflects its human author's personality, background, and vocabulary, yet every word was inspired as God Himself spoke through each writer (2 Peter 1:20-21). What's more, though written by multiple hands over multiple centuries, Scripture is a cohesive compilation: Its message is consistent in truth, purpose, and prophecy.
Without God's Word, we would know very little about HIM and nothing about redemption.
SO PLEASE NEVER TAKE THE BIBLE FOR GRANTED.
Each time you open a Bible, YOU are hearing GOD'S voice speaking directly to YOU. Take advantage of this privilege and read it regularly as you can.
NOTE: Find out Who GOD really made YOU to be... (I'm sure it's not that you should be a punching-bag for others to hit, I'm sure it's not that you to be used, so someone else can profit by your loneness, and I'm sure it's not to to cause hopelessness in your life so you'll be led by your nose!). THAT'S CERTAINATELY IS NOT JEHOVAH's WILL FOR YOU EVER! ( That's what Satan wants for you instead, not God).
