I was asked to write a paragraph based on this question: What is the Bible? This came out instead.
The Bible is
The unparalleled
The infallible
The unfailing
and eternal word of God
The Bible is a lamp for my feet
A guide to my path
A sure anchor for my soul
A comfort in times of trouble
and a rebuke in times of selfishness
Through the Bible God
Speaks to me
Teaches me
Tells me he loves me
and shows me what love really is
In the Bible I see
My sinfulness
And His holiness
My shame
and His Glory
But the Bible tells me that
Despite my unworthiness
Christ died for me
Christ was raised for me
and Christ will come again for me
God used the Bible to
To convict me
To humble me
To bring me low
So that He may raise me up
Now I use the Bible
To feed on
To gain strength from
Until I am called to be with Him
Or He returns to be with us

ReplyDeleteWelcome back. I took a brief hiaitus for SWAT training over the summer...it was a good break. It's always good to break away from things for a while. Welcome back at your own pace, brother!!!
And every bit of it is true.
