Trust is a rare commodity these days – who can you trust? Politicians? Not often. Journalists? Not always. Bankers? Perhaps not any more. Everything you read on the internet? No. So why can I trust the Bible?
The Bible is perhaps the most widely-owned and widely-studied book in history. One of the amazing things about this text is that whether you consider it in terms of History, Science or Prophesy, the outstanding accuracy of the Bible shines through. Is that surprising when you consider that although the Bible is written by numerous authors, the breath of the Creator has inspired it all?
All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work. 2 Timothy 3:16-17 [NIV]
You have almost certainly heard this verse already this year - it is our church text for 2012 and is a key verse when we are studying the Word for 40 days this Lent. The Word of God is useful, truthful, constant and consistent. I hope it will also transform your life.
Lord, help me to be equipped for every good work as I travel on this journey of exploration of your Word. Help me to Love it, to Learn it and above all to Live it. Amen.
Memory Verse: Let the Word of Christ dwell in you richly. Colossians 3:16a [NIV]
