I understand that the Bible can be confusing at times. I get that it doesn't always make sense. And even as a minister I truly need to wrestle with a number of passages in the Scriptures. However, one of the purposes of the Scriptures is to be life-giving and not the opposite. Sadly, it is often used in a negative way, but when you read verses like Psalm 19, you will see what it truly intended.
7 The law of the Lord is
perfect, refreshing the soul.
The statutes of the Lord are
trustworthy, making wise the simple.
8 The precepts of the Lord
are right, giving joy to the heart.
The commands of the Lord are
radiant, giving light to the eyes.
9 The fear of the Lord
is pure, enduring forever.
The decrees of the Lord are firm, and
all of them are righteous.
Did you notice some of those thoughts?
REFRESHING.
TRUSTWORTHY
WISDOM
JOY
RADIANT
GIVING LIGHT
ENDURING
FIRM
These are such incredible gifts for all of us. It is my prayer that you would begin to find the pages of the Bible offering you some of these gifts.
