Hey friends. I trust that you are well today. I am. Of late, my most treasured times have been times spent reading the Bible. It’s been so clear to me how at times this book may just seem as a collection of good inspirational stories, even to many who claim to be Christians. As I was doing my daily reading today, I was reminded again that I too was once in that position. However, things have changed a lot especially over the past one year. Seeing the Bible as the inspired Word of God Himself really changed my perspective. This started when I began seeing God in a whole new dimension, but that’s a story for another day. For the rest of the week, I’ll just be sharing some thoughts on the Bible: the true, Holy, and inspired Word of the living GOD.

2 Timothy 3:16-17

“All scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.”

I love poems!!! I leave you with this one. As you read it, remember how privileged you are to hear from and read the most precious book given to mankind. It’s true, it’s real, it’s everlasting and it can be trusted. Be blessed!    

YOU CAN TRUST THE HOLY BIBLE

You can trust the Holy Bible from the first page to the last. You can trust what it says about the future, and what it says about the past.

There really was a Noah, who built an ark with a hammer and a nail. There really was a Jonah, who lived after being swallowed by a whale.

There really was a town called Sodom, destroyed by fire and brimstone from above. And God really did feed the Hebrews with manna, sent to them with love.

There really was a virgin Mary, who conceived Jesus in her womb. And it's true he came to life again, after being buried in a tomb.

It's true Jesus healed the sick, and gave sight to those who couldn't see. It's true he healed the deaf, and walked on the Sea of Galilee.

He healed some who couldn't walk, and raised three persons from the dead. He fed a multitude of people with only two fish and five loaves of bread.

The Bible tells us of hell.....a place for those not forgiven of their sin. And it tells us of heaven.....a place Christ's disciples are sure to enter in.

The Bible speaks of many things..... some easy, some hard to understand. But the Bible can be fully trusted, for it came from God's almighty hand.

So, don't pass judgment on the Bible. It's always right, never wrong. For God has given all its contents, and there's not a verse that doesn't belong.

No, don't pass judgment on the Bible. It's God's infallible Word. Just listen to God speak as you read it. You'll be blessed by what is heard.
