God's word

2 Peter 1:20-21 But know this first of all that no prophecy of Scripture is a matter of one's own interpretation, for no prophecy was ever made as an act of human will, but men moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God.

Here, as in other places in the Bible, confirms that all of the Bible is Holy Spirit inspired and not just a book written by men. If we do not believe that the Bible is God's word inspired by the Holy Spirit, then we will have a hard time to believe God's promises. Besides, it is obvious that all the prophecy in the Bible is true because it happened just as it was prophesied. God's word is powerful and that is why I must be committed to learning the scriptures.

I need to really wrap my head around the fact that the scriptures are all Holy Spirit inspired, written by God Himself through men. I need to understand this so that when I call up scripture, I can stand upon it, like a rock. It is never changing. It is true. It is 100% dependable because it is God's very word and He cannot lie. When I doubt God, it usually goes something like this:
"Lord, You said You'd never leave me or forsake me, but is that true in this situation?"
Of course the answer is "Yes, it is true" because God is everlasting and His word is the scripture. I should never underestimate the Bible by saying to myself, "Oh, that was just Peter's point of view" or "That's just Paul's point of view." Rather, I need to say, that is God's word. He has said it and it still stands.

Heavenly Father, thank You for Your unchanging Word. Lord, may I fully trust in Your word and not doubt it or bend it. Lord, I love Your truth. I love Your stability. Please help me to be steady in my walk. Lord, please make me humble. I know that I cannot do anything without You. I need You for my marriage, my mothering, and my day to day living. May I decrease and You increase. Please continue to reveal to me Your glory and majesty. May I seek You and know and understand You for who You really are. Jesus, thank You for making forgiveness available to me for the ultimate sacrifice. May I never cheapen Your grace nor Your love. I pray all this in Jesus' name, Amen.
