The Bible is rich. It is a history book, a love letter, a guide book full of wisdom and instruction. It is a biography...His story told in all the gory detail, and a romantic true account of how much He loves and how far He will go to have us. It is an adventure story also, full of people who were in ugly predicaments and the ability of the One who would rescue them. It is a foundation that puts something beneath us to walk on and gives strength as we open its cover and turn the pages. It is a book that will breathe its breath into you, will both comfort you and challenge you. It should wrestle you to the ground and lift you back up in its story of forgiveness and hope, surely it is a resurrection story. It is a lifeline to the weary and both a knife that can do delicate surgery to perfection (He is no butcher) and a balm that will heal our wounds.
Open the pages newly. Explore. Soak. Take Him at His word.
