I struggle with Christians, or anyone else for that matter, who try to fix everything. There is always a suggestion or answer on how to fix a problem, to deal with a situation, or I am given a Bible verse to solve the problem. Please do not take this wrong, I believe the Bible is there as a support for our daily life. But to say read this and everything will be better is dangerous advice. Everything may not be better or ever get better in this world.
I believe the Bible is a road map to follow as I grow in my God relationship. It is God inspired and contains the information necessary for salvation. I read it and experience God in the words read. I apply it to my life, not by doing the words written, but by listening to the voice of God in those words. It is an opportunity to live in my God relationship and be equipped for my daily battle in this world. It is written to draw me close to God.
Now after saying this I am going to use a scripture! 😉
John 16:33 has always been a favorite verse of mine.
"These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world."
I am seeking peace in the reading of the Bible. I am seeking peace in my personal God relationship. I am not sure there will be peace in my world, but I do know this, God has overcome this world!
Peace,
PB
