Title: The Bible Our Reliable Source for Truth
Text:
Acts 17:11 (ESV)
11 Now these Jews were more noble than those in Thessalonica; they received the word with all eagerness, examining the Scriptures daily to see if these things were so.
Observation:
I was talking to a friend this week, and the verse listed above came up in our conversation. Then, the next day it was the focus of an article I read in my email inbox.
As a child I learned the most profound truth that I have ever been exposed to. It is more profound than anything I learned in sixteen years of formal education, and thirty-three years in the business world.
That truth is this, "Jesus loves me this I know, for the Bible tells me so". Without the Bible as my compass, I would be like a ship at sea without a sail; I would be lost in this world, and the world to come.
Isaiah 55:11 (KJV)
11 So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.
Hebrews 4:12 (KJV)
12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
Prayer:
Father, hallowed be Your name. Father, I am so grateful for the Word of God.
Father, I am so thankful for the wisdom and the wealth that I find when I read the Bible. Father, I am so grateful for the peace and the power that I receive by obeying what You have said in Your Word.
Father, Your servant David, a man after Your own heart, says what's in my heart about Your Word. In the mighty name of Jesus I pray, Amen.
Psalm 119:11 (KJV)
11 Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.
Acts 6:4 (ESV)
4 But we will devote ourselves to prayer and to the ministry of the word."
Psalm 65:2 (ESV)
2 O you who hear prayer, to you shall all flesh come.
