Test Of Time
I have been wrestling with God lately in my time with him. He always seems win….hmm. Inevitably, once through my prideful attacks at God’s processes of challenging me, I always end up learning something more about myself and God. I think that my persistent “fights” with Jesus just teach me more about the abundant grace and mercy poured out on me. Maybe a little unorthodox, but effective nonetheless.
It is so easy to be a scoffer and come up with reasons as to why the “Truth” that the Bible is doesn’t apply to me. I’m done with it though!. I can’t keep doing that. It is more detrimental to me, my family, and my life in general. I don’t have the energy to continue to carry the weight of doubt. It is too hard. I’ve been meaning to update my blog from this past weekend’s message from Pastor Tom Mullins.
2 Peter 1:20-21; Above all, you must understand that no prophecy of Scripture came about by the prophet’s own interpretation. 21 For prophecy never had its origin in the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.
Isaiah 40:8; The grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of our God stands forever.
Over the history of scientists, pharisees, scoffers, and just doubting seekers trying to disprove the accuracy of the bible with archaeological digs and other historical documents, not once has there been a challenge that has carried any factual weight. Not once has the existence of Christ Jesus been disproved. Not once has the historical accuracy of the Old and New Testaments been proven otherwise.
This just goes to prove the irrefutable, unmistakable legitimacy of the Gospel of Jesus Christ and the power of the Word of God.
I will rest in this.
