The Amazing Scriptures

All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.

2 Timothy 3:16-17

The Holy Scriptures are the inspired, inerrant Word of God. Forever true, never changing, quite simply, the Bible is good for us. So that we may be complete, equipped for every good work. If we actually read it and employ what it contains into our life that is. What an incredible resource each one of us has within their grasp. The living voice of God, spiritual food that nourishes us to heath and wellness.  

Reading the Bible on a daily basis draws us closer to God, speaks to us through the Holy Spirit and helps us to keep our focus upon Jesus. Not reading the Bible on a regular basis does the opposite. 

Here is one of the amazing parts and why it is vital to read and reread and continue to read the Bible even if you have already read it. Though the Bible never changes, I do.

I’ve had new victories, different struggles, as I strive to always keep my eyes on Jesus, my focus upon what He is doing in my life is always evolving. My interests move about like the changing weather. The opportunities and people that the Holy Spirit places before me changes, sometimes day to day.

Since the Bible is constant and is the living Word, it affects me differently depending upon what I need most – according to the will of God. How amazing, how wonderful, how life changing. 

So I read. I look for insight. I seek inspiration each day and from every verse. I continually ask the Holy Spirit to illuminate what I am about to read. And do you know what? He is always faithful. 

And in my best day or my darkest hour, there it is. Just what I needed most for today. In my current situation, the Scripture speaks to me. The confirmation, the wisdom, the clarity, those things only the Word can bring.

Yes, it is true, I am different from the last time I read this verse or that passage. But the Word of God is timeless, eternal, personal, appropriate.

A person can spend a lifetime reading the Bible and in the process will discover something about themselves, something new about the Lord every time a page is turned and a verse is studied.
