Isaiah
40:25-26 To
whom then will you compare me, that I should be like him? says
the Holy One. Lift up your eyes on high and see: who created these? He who
brings out their host by number, calling them all by name; by the greatness of
his might, and because he is strong in power not one is missing.
The Bible teaches us that
the God we worship is not an idol, nor is He a god that is sitting far away
watching the affairs of men with disinterest, but that the God we worship reveals
Himself to us. He is a God that speaks, He is a God that listens, He is a God
that understands and cares, He is a God that loves, He
is our God to us. The Bible reveals to us that God made us in His image and
that we have been given dominion and authority over this earth. We also find
that we have failed our side of the agreement with God time and time again, yet
God has never failed us.
It is because of who God is
and His love for this world that He revealed Himself to us in and through Jesus
Christ, and in doing so gave us a living example of how He expects us to
respond to Him and to others. So as we study the Bible we need to have the
meaning revealed to us, not through human understanding or wisdom but through
the Holy Spirit. We cannot learn to be a Christian, we cannot earn our
Christianity, we just live it in love.
Be encouraged today to
study the Bible and to just live it.
David
Point to ponder: The Bible is God’s revelation to us.
