singnangel, The Bible is God’s written Word to us. How important for us to revere its pages of truth, as it tells us about the God we worship. A deep conviction of the authority and infallibility of the Scriptures is of paramount importance for the one who reads its pages. Bible reading keeps its glow when we revere it as God’s book. Desire: It is one thing to know that we need to read the Bible. It is another thing to desire to read it. Such a desire is not forced, but should come naturally to the one who knows the Author personally and loves His fellowship. This is what Peter had in mind when he wrote, "long for the pure milk of the word...if you have tasted the kindness of the Lord" (1 Peter 2:2-3). Receptivity: This is the attitude of submission and moldability. We approach the Bible not to do something to it, but to let it do something to us. With an open heart and mind, we are prepared to understand the Scriptures (Luke 24:45). Humility: Humility is a virtue that God values in every aspect of our lives, because He wants us always to acknowledge who we really are and who He truly is. When you feel discouraged over difficult passages of Scripture, recall that even Peter realized there were parts of Paul’s letters that were hard to understand (2 Peter 3:16). God bless |

Great post inmyheart! I've come across passages that I have not understood and "in due time" or rather, at the RIGHT time, God clearly revealed their meaning for me! What I find so awesome is the way that God's Word speaks to us personally as individuals. God knows exactly where we are and what we need. HE responds to those needs through His Word, by His Spirit, through circumstances, through prayer and counsel of fellow Christ followers. Blessings, mommapbs PS: you've posted a lot and have yet to tell the Forum about yourself! How about it? |
