Have you ever played that party game that starts with a phrase whispered from person to person until the last individual repeats out loud what he was told? Most of the time it’s unrecognizable from the original statement and everyone has a good laugh. It is amazing how easy it is for us to miscommunicate with each other.
The Bible has no miscommunication within its pages. Though written by more than forty men over 1,500 years, it remains our perfect playbook for the game of life.
Two thousand years later the Bible provides clear insight and guidance to those who seek it. This book is a miracle book that had to be God inspired.
The Bible also brings God closer to us — in our times of need and in times of prosperity:
Yet You are near, Lord, and all Your commands are true. Long ago I learned from Your statutes that You established them to last forever. Psalm 119:151-152
When we are desperate, the Holy Spirit communicates to us through God’s Word that we are not alone.
When we are flying high, we are reminded to keep things in perspective. The stories of great men and women like David and Ruth serve as guideposts for us; the Gospel tells us the good news of Jesus Christ. What a playbook!
I’m looking for practical tools to help me get through life. The Bible is the most practical and valuable resource I have in my possession. I’ve learned to turn to it daily and find it always lights my path — no matter how good or bad things are going for me.
My hope is that you will learn this truth for yourself.
