Good morning all,
The word of the day is “malarkey.” What a great word for April Fools’ Day. Contrary to popular belief, the actual
meaning is not a curse word. The real
definition has to do with the way that someone would like their words to be
perceived. The funny thing is, this word
has a lot to do with the way that people perceive the Bible. I remember when I first started to learn about
stories in the Bible, a lot of people tried to skew my views and tell me that
this wasn't true or that was true. I
guess I just never really listened to the naysayers. I spent a lot of time and effort delving into
God’s word myself, and of course with the help of many mentors and other people
who walked alongside me.
“All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is
profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in
righteousness…” ~2 Tim 3:16
My question is: what are the things that you have decided to
believe about God’s word? We can always
get caught up on things that are small.
God’s word is not malarkey, or writings that are designed to mislead
people. My prayer today is that you give
God the benefit of the doubt. In all my
years of studying Scripture I have seen that God continues to work in my life
and the lives of those around me. As you
continue to put your trust in him, he will reveal for you the spiritual truths
of his word, pointing you in the direction of correct living.
Praying for you,
MO
