Picking it apart & studying that brings peace ~

With all that's going on in the world, going to the Bible is such comfort for me, as well as for many thousands of others.

For example, Proverbs 3:21-25:

My son, let not them depart from your eyes: keep sound wisdom and discretion (ability to make responsible decisions, the result of separating or distinguishing): So shall they be life unto your soul, and grace to your neck. Then shall you walk in your way safely, and your foot shall not stumble. When you lie down, you shall not be afraid: yea, you shall lie down, and your sleep shall be sweet. Be not afraid of sudden fear, neither of the desolation of the wicked, when it comes. For the Lord shall be your confidence, and shall keep your foot from being taken.

Just by looking at these few verses, we see there are precursors/stipulations for being able to lie down and sleep without fear; by keeping sound wisdom and discretion. And what wisdom is there that never changes: God's infalliable, unchanging Word, the Bible. Our road map for this life. 

When you buy any new instrument/appliance/car, etc.,  there's always a manual by the manufacturer. The Bible is OUR Manufacturer's manual. See? :)

As we pick apart those words that we thought we knew the definition to, turns out, there's so much more to that word, and it actually expounds more meaning to it.  Does for me, and I've heard many say the same.

Isaiah 28:9-11 ...line upon line, precept upon precept, here a little, there a little...

We're learning every day, aren't we. Something new, something valuable, something so important and life sustaining ~ when we walk with the Lord, led of His Holy Spirit. (Romans 8:14; Galatians 5:18)

When we were in nursing school, we were taught that a nurse learns something new every day and never comes to knowing it all; there's always something new  

It's the same way in our own every day lives, isn't it - until we go to be with the Lord we will continuously be learning. It's not always easy, or fun, or expected but we do always experience and learn something, don't we. ('something' word is a bit redundant in here, but oh well. *smiling*)

Praying for those of you of the seed of Adam to know the reality of God's Holy Son, Jesus Christ of Nazareth through the power of the Holy Spirit more and more every minute, every hour, every day.

So why make that distinction, what I wrote in the above paragraph. Because there are some that claim/and will claim to be our Messiah that isn't, and those that claim/will claim, to be of the seed of Adam, and won't be.

You'll see.

And then you'll understand. 

I hope.
