Jesus taught many Spiritual truths about the Kingdom of Heaven through parables. Like father like son, so to speak, both the Father and the Son love telling stories with a hidden meaning. If you can find the meaning, then you have found gold.
As I was going through my devotionals this morning (date of writing this message), I came across this passage in the Bible:
And when God counted him as righteous, it wasn't just for Abraham's benefit. It was recorded for our benefit, too, assuring us that God will also count us as righteous if we believe in him, the one who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead.
Romans 4: 23-24 [NLT version – the bold is my emphasis]
Today, be encouraged to turn to the Bible for a solution to anything you want or need. Yes, turn to that favourite Old or New Testament story that gives you hope or inspiration and do it over and over again. It was written for you!
God in His wisdom, knowing He would create you for such a time as this, carefully Edited everything He would put in the Holy Bible, just for you and me!
For example:
- For those with weak faith He condensed everything they need to know in one chapter, Hebrews 11
- For salvation He gave you the story of Nicodemus in John Chapter 3
- For healing, He gave for example the story of the withered fig tree in Mark 11 vs. 20 – 25 – the message being you can speak the Word of God to your circumstance and it will change. If it's too difficult to believe, He gives a backup parable of the persistent widow in Luke chapter 18 vs. 1 – 8:
- For the impossible, "never heard of in my family miracle", or for that stubborn problem, God gave us the story of Noah in Genesis chapters 6 – 9 who built a very large boat that saved his family at the instruction of God, even though it had never rained before in those days.
So go on and read your favourite Bible story knowing that what God has done for that person He will also do the same for you, only if you believe will He reward your faith
