"Every part of scripture is God-breathed and useful one way or another -- showing us truth, exposing our rebellion, correcting our mistakes; training us to live God's way. Through the Word we are put togeher and shaped up for the tasks God has for us." 2 Timothy 3:15-16 (The Message)
How many times in our lives have we said, "Can I have a Do Over"? We get busy with worldly life ways, kids, spouses, jobs, activities, etc. Pretty much, just "stuff" gets in our way of the tasks God has for us. God gives us talents and uses such talents to better the Kingdom.
READ the scripture that God has laid out for us. It is our book....our life's book , We can learn so much about God, our relationship with God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit within its pages. The scripture is one of God's gifts for us. It is a way to keep our relationship open with Him. God speaks to us through the scriptures....we just need to listen.
We can see pieces of ourselves in the lives of others in the Bible. I mean, think about it.....we see Adam and Eve, the first people in the Bible, the first created. They long for a relationship with God and to please God. Yet, they are tempted (as we are so often tempted by the things of this world) and they fell to sin. Sin sets us apart from God. We get further from God. But we can ALWAYS come back to HIM through prayer, apology, & sincere reading of your Bible.
We can't actually have a "Do Over" and go back in time, but we can learn from our mistakes and move forward. The Bible teaches us so many things.....righteous living, forgiveness, love, and worship of the one true God. Be blessed each of you......You're in my prayers.
