Eat My Words!

[Red Sky at Morning]

I just had an idea today as I was pondering on the Exodus and the Mana the wandering Israelites are each day...

So often, "truthers" can become absorbed in research, exposing schemes and so on and literally be spiritually starving! I'm not saying there is no place for these things, but an army marches on its stomach and we all need to eat something to have strength.

I came to realise this for myself a few weeks back and I felt it would be a good thing to create an open ended thread where followers of Jesus on this forum could share what they had received.

Apparently one great theologian was questioned on what the most profound truth he had learned after a lifetime of study. He paused then replied "Yes, Jesus loves me - the Bible tells me so". Whether you have just got saved and can't get over John 3:16 or you have been wandering amongst the minor prophets finding pearls of wisdom, why not share what you have with your brothers and sisters here?

"Yes, Jesus loves me - the Bible tells me so".

This is what it all comes down to. Amen.

I listen to the Bible often while I'm working, and hearing it (instead of reading it) can be a very different experience. It's easy to hear a certain verse and follow the thoughts while Scourby keeps going. One thing that is constantly impressed on me as I listen is how much of the Bible relates to events that are still to come. Fulfilled prophecy authenticates the word of God, and there is so much that will come to pass before all this is over.

The other thought I am reminded of is the verse from Isaiah 28, "For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little." The Bible's message -- Yes, Jesus loves me -- is affirmed over and over again. Praise God for his love and his word!

From personal experience, i concur with the Psalmist;
Taste and see that the LORD is good.

I have tasted and i have seen...
