A Lamp Unto Our Feet
“We must allow the Word of God to confront us, to disturb our security, to undermine our complacency and to overthrow our patterns of thought and behavior.” — John R.W. Stott
Some say the Bible is just a story, a mere book of fiction, that it doesn’t apply to us today. I could give you all the proofs, such as the 2,000 prophecies out of 2,500 that already have been fulfilled — 300 prophecies fulfilled by Jesus alone. Or show that the Bible never contradicts itself. Or give all of the scientific evidence, such as the hydrologic cycle (water cycle) found in Job — the oldest book in the Bible.
But I have a challenge for you.
The challenge is to study the Bible for 90 days — every day — and see what happens.
In 2 Timothy 3:16, the Apostle Paul writes, “All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness.”
Did you read that? Breathed out by God!
Then in verse 17, it reads, “That the man of God may be competent, equipped for every good work.” I love it!
So if we read and study the Word and apply it, we will have everything to be able to carry out God’s plan for our life. In the world we live in today, so many people are looking for a fresh word, a divine sign from above. God is speaking! So open up the living, breathing Word of God and see what questions end up being answered. Apply it, and see every good work of Him come to pass!
Love you all, Pastor Dave and Missy
