“Such things were written in the Scriptures long ago to teach us. And the Scriptures give us hope and encouragement as we wait patiently for God’s promises to be fulfilled.”—Romans 15:4
The Bible, which is the Word of God, is made up of many Scriptures to teach us. As I say regularly, especially when people give their life to Jesus, I encourage them to read the Bible every day, as it is God’s food where you find all the nutrition you need to grow spiritually in Him.
The Bible, though written many years ago, is so “trendy” and “modern” because it’s alive, connected to God directly. And in these Scriptures, we find guidance for our daily lives, not only our spiritual lives, but also our emotional, physical, family, sexual, economic life and more. We find in this book God’s directions, the essential principles linked to God’s plan for our lives, which consists of projects of peace—prosperity according to the original text, not misfortune. The Bible is truly God’s book to help us follow His will, His path that will bring us the happiness to live this life in abundance that God our Good Father wishes us to have.
“Such things were written in the Scriptures long ago to teach us. And the Scriptures give us hope and encouragement as we wait patiently for God’s promises to be fulfilled.“
Isaiah 49:3-4
The Bible is much more than Scriptures! It reveals a person called Jesus Christ. It is written in the first chapter of the Gospel according to Saint John: “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. All things were made through Him, and nothing that was made was made without Him. In Him was life, and the life was the light of men.” (John 1:1-4). It goes on to say that this Word was given under the Law by Moses, and came in the flesh under Grace through Jesus Christ. Jesus is the living Word of God today to teach us through His wonderful Holy Spirit.
And the good news is that God’s Word is not dry, old or even dead Scripture. But these Scriptures are alive, filled with energy and Hope for our lives. As you face challenges, questions, misunderstandings… God’s Word is at your disposal to find Hope and encouragement. As you carefully read this Word of God, you’ll find thousands of promises from God for every part of our life.
“God’s Word is the source to give you life, as it is filled with God’s nutrition for you that releases Hope and Courage.“
God is not a liar, and what He promises in His Scriptures is for you. And all these promises are written down for you to get discovered. God is a God who respects you and doesn’t force you to read the Book of Life as He is looking for a fellowship with you. He is eager to reveal Himself to you as you seek Him. When you open the Book, read it and meditate on it, you will find the Hope and encouragement you need to release faith to receive His promises. And as you believe and wait patiently allowing the Holy Spirit to come upon you, like a seed in the ground that is watered by rain and will one day germinate, the Word grows and matures in you to become a reality and blessing to your life.
Prayer: God, I want to say thank You for Your Word. Thanks for this Book full of promises for my own life and family. As You want to give me Your daily Bread, I want to open my Bible and read it and find Hope and Encouragement. I have faith in You and believe that Your words that will be revealed to me will become one day a reality.
