I need to vent a little. Sometimes at night, right before I go to sleep, I have these inspired little thoughts, commentaries or whatever in my head. I usually don’t make myself write them down thinking I’ll remember in the morning. 99% of the time I don’t and I regret it. Sometimes during the day I try to pull up biblegateway.com just to get the verse of the day. Cause really, that’s all the effort I make sometimes. Today’s verse is As for God, his way is perfect; the word of the LORD is flawless. He is a shield for all who take refuge in him. - Psalm 18:30 And I thought, hey, that’s a great verse to show people that God’s word is true and nothing in it is erroneous. If something seems wrong, it’s us not seeing the whole picture or looking at it the wrong way. I truly believe everything is in the Bible is true and accurate and in there for a reason. It was inspired by God even though men wrote it. If the Holy Spirit has never spoken to your heart and you knew beyond a shadow of a doubt, that’s what it was, then you probably have a hard time grasping how the Bible is written by men and still flawless. That sounds REALLY harsh, but the Bible also says people that are not God do not understand the things of God. So it all makes sense. ANYWAY, that’s not really the point I thought of when reading that. The thing I thought about is if someone is skeptical of the Bible and say, well, what if THAT phrase was the ONLY one that wasn’t true. That God’s word isn’t flawless. If any part of the Bible is false, then it’s all false to me. How can I base my entire existence, creation and eternal life on something that’s sort of right? And I think that’s what a lot of people think. If the Bible is just a historical book written by sinful men then why the heck would they trust their entire life to the man that was written about in it? So my only thought about this is I do believe and to someone that doesn’t believe, you can spend your life fighting about what to believe and make that your life story. We only get once chance at this life and is it going to be spent fighting God and everything He’s about or is it going to be about believing in something so much you center everything around it. I for one plan on believing to the core for the rest of my days and that will be MY life story.
