I Believe What you Say...

 

I believe What you Say...

Up to this point, I assumed that believing in Jesus was one package, but I found out after years of Christian living that it is not enough to believe in him.  You must believe unequivocally what he says a ‘knowledge’ that is unshakable. His Word is the Truth and that without any doubt stands throughout the ages.

Here is an example of Jesus saying the words, ‘believe me’:

“Believe me when I say that I am in the Father and the Father is in me; or at least believe on the evidence of the miracles themselves.  I tell you the truth, anyone who has faith in me will do what I have been doing.  He will do even greater things than these because I am going to the Father.” (John 14:11-12)

So, my question to myself and to each one of you is when the words in the Bible resonate to our heart. Do I or we believe what he is saying or are they forgotten and covered in sand?  It is especially important to not merely believe in Him even though it is crucial to anyone’s salvation.  It is even more important to believe what he tells us in the Bible on any given day in our quite times with him.

We must endeavor therefore ‘to know’ him to be able to trust him in what he says just as Paul said in 2 Timothy 1:12.

That is why I am suffering here in prison.  But I am not ashamed of it, for I know the one in whom I trust, and I am sure he is able to guard what I have entrusted to him until the day of his return.

The Legacy of Wisdom Proverbs 8:17

    I am more than excited about the wisdom I find in Proverbs from the Bible these days.  A wisdom that I want to grow into and be able to pass it on to future generation The book of Proverbs is to me in part an admonition from a father to his son.   A legacy of wisdom and character.   Very obviously and more than anything he does not want his son just to be wealthy    but rather, want him to be rich in wisdom from God, the highest kind of wisdom there is.   The kind of wisdom that you want to know intimately and even pass it on to the next generation.   Men, I am talking to you or with you While still reading and meditating on the Book of Proverbs from the Bible, I cannot help but experiencing it as an admonition from a father to his son.   The Father wants to pass on a legacy to his son.   Are you a father or one to be? Or perhaps, like me a grandfather who has struggled all his life to put food on the table?   Now ...

The Fruit of the Spirit...Patience?

  As I was being tested, patience was required, and I was waiting with much complaining.   Then my wife encouraged me to read the Fruit of the Spirit out of the Amplified version of the Bible.   So, I did and here it is: “But the fruit of the Spirit [the result of His presence within us] is love [unselfish concern for others],   joy [inner] peace , patience [not the ability to wait, but how we act while waiting],   kindness, goodness,   faithfulness,   gentleness,   self-control.   Against such things there is no law.” (Galatians 5:22-23) These verses not only apply to us as we go through our daily life but especially as we wait for the Lord’s return.   How we act while we wait for him does matter and it is very important.   We learn as we go through trials.   For a lot of people, the word “patience” is not welcome in their vocabulary, and I can tell by my own life I am not the only one who finds it diff...
