Day 27
The Wonderous Book... Genesis 1
The Bible, for me is a never ending source of
inspiration and guidance. It is written in the
perfect way for us to achieve the very best in
our lives, not only spiritually but also in our
day to day existence. It truly is an amazing
piece of work.
The artwork in it’s construction is flawless.
In my eyes it is like the grandest Church in
paperform. Yet despite it’s grandeur, it is free
for all of us to own. Why, because it is simply,
the word of God.
There are several versions of the Bible but the
messages remain the same in them all. To me,
the different versions do not make any real
difference to me. It’s funny but I have seen
people arguing about the different versions for
some very petty reasons and I had to feel they
were missing the point a little. Mere mortal
man finding faults in such an incredible book
instead of getting involved in all that is right in
it. But again, just my thoughts.
No matter the version, take a while to
appreciate the immense workmanship in
the verses. No other book in history could
ever come close to it. Of course, it is written
by man’s hand but I cannot help feel it’s
creativeness is God. Although human hands
wrote the text, God was the author through
those hands if you see what I mean.
As I have said numerous times, I like to use
it as a guide to life. I can never go wrong if I
stick to it’s instructions and follow what has
been written. I do have areas where I tend to
revisit over and over again, the New Testament
is really where I get so much benefit but that
doesn’t say that the rest of the Bible is not as
important. It all is.
SO, try to take a few moments each day to
pick up your own Bible and read a passage or
two. Don’t force yourself to over-read or stick
to a strict regime, just simply read what you
want. That way you will maintain the desire to
return and learn. The army taught me that.
