Lately I have been a little frustrated with some of the conversations I’ve been having with a few people in my life, conversations about the Bible and what’s in it. Me saying that it is truth and others picking and choosing…and they are wondering why they are wandering around lost and confused. This drives me utterly crazy. And then Bam, My pastor busts out with this last night.
“There comes a time in your life when you are going to have to wrestle with whether or not you believe that what is in the Bible is true, not just some of it, not just the parts you like, but all of it. And that will determine how close of a relationship you will have with God”.
There it is…in plain words to understand…this Book, His Word, His Wisdom is how He speaks to us. God’s knocking, all you have to do is let Him in. In doing that, He will fill that “God shaped” hole you have inside you and He will be the Navigation System for your life.
Matthew 6:33 Seek the Kingdom of God above all else and live righteously and he will give you everything you need.
Seek Him in His Word…and you will find everything you need. Everything.

The Bible to me is the same as the Owner's Manual to my car. If I'm stranded on the side of the road in the pouring rain with a flat tire, I can look in the owners manual to see where the jack and spare tire is located and even know where the button is to push "On Star" for help. lol I wouldn't go as far as saying God is "On Star." lol The ones that don't read the Owners Manual, may find themselves lost, stranded with a flat tire and not knowing where the spare is BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T TAKE TIME TO READ THE OWNERS MANUAL. lol Great insight from you as usually. You're always listening with an expectant heart.
Psalm 5:3
"Listen to my voice in the morning, Lord. Each morning I bring my requests to you and wait expectantly."
Muah !
