Second star to the right and straight on 'till morning
Amy woke up today not feeling well and as such, took several naps and really only left the house when she went with me to get some sweet corn and run to Aldis.
One of the gifts that I bought and gave to Amy for our 20th was a Bible small enough to fit in her purse. It’s a nice little Bible with a leather cover and snap enclosure to protect the gold leaf pages from getting crumpled. It’s a little small for my taste, but she’s been wanting one for years and was delighted. What do you think is the purpose of the Bible? I think its purpose is simply to proclaim God’s plan to save His children. It asserts that the human race is lost and needs to be saved…and it communicates the message that Jesus is God in the flesh, who was sent to save His children (us). Though the Bible was written over sixteen centuries by at least 40 authors, it has but one central theme – salvation through faith in Christ. Begun by Moses in the lonely desert of Arabia and finished by John on the lonely isle of Patmos, it is held together by a strong thread: God’s passion and God’s plan to save His children. What a vital truth! Understanding the Bible’s purpose is like setting a compass. Calibrate it correctly and your journey and path will be true…but fail to set it correctly and who knows where you’ll end up.
When was the last time you calibrated your compass?
Psalms 119:105 – Your Word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path.
