Bible

[plugger]

This morning in my readings I got to focusing on faith, creation etc, and I thought a bit on doubt. In S.S. some years back folks got to discussing the Scriptures and what many thought, now, Me, personally, I find it easier to believe what is written is so, however many will think differently, anyway someone ask me something along the line of my belief, they did not understand me-----My answer----"Do you believe God created the world and everything in it? the answer was yes, but sort of like I had a screw loose for asking such. My reply if a person believes that God spoke this world into existence, I mean just said ---let there be light and there was light, etc, etc, etc,----now if a person believes that then everything in the Bible is a piece of cake for my God......I suppose I put this out here this morning because there may be a few reading this morning that wonder about the Bible, and justly so seeing as how there are so many who influence the doubting side.....Maybe you are one who just does not get it-----Listen , I believe my God created the heavens & earth as the Bible says, and by believing this, then everything else falls right into place-----many call things in the Bible stories, yes, Jesus used parables (stories) to make a point/ learning session, But when the Bible says God did, I take it to the Bank, God did it. Another point, when I pass and stand before God and ask why I did such & such, I would rather reply that this is what I understood Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Paul etc, etc, meant when they wrote the Scriptures-- than to say-- well on the Bible Board, David, Greg, Ole Rick, Steve, etc, etc, said that this is what the Scripture said but what it really meant was_____.......Scripture clearly says that the Holy Spirt will teach us in all things. Now I may be way out of line here, but I encourage you to listen to your Pastor, S.S. teacher and those who write the lessons-----but do not put full trust & faith there, listen to that little voice inside of you, that would be the Holy Spirit talking to you, guiding you-----If you experience such- Jesus taught---Seek & you will find----Knock & it will be opened to you---Ask and it will be given.

Hey you don't know, but you would like to believe, but you really don't believe, may I encourage you to try this and see if it helps------In the quietness of a place away from outside attractions, just sit there and say---"God, you know my heart and the fact that I do not believe, although I would like to----if You are there help me",-----then just proceed as if you were talking to an ole buddy over a beer or coffee, you can tell God anything, everything, makes no difference, He already knows everything, He is just sort of waiting for you to step up......On this board we have many who are where you are right now, we have many who will put you on their prayer list, we have many on this board who have been there, done that and got a "T" shirt with it written on it-----but the first step is for you to take, no one can take it for you, no one can push you, but if you have a desire to step out--reach out God will take your hand and lead you

Life is so much easier when we know that all is in God's hands, we fear no evil for He is with us..

God Bless
