I have recently just purchased my first Bible, quite something having reached the Beatles classic song age.
No I have not become a 'basher' - more a seeker. So every so often I read a passage from The New Testament as the 5 Books leaves me terribly confused, even though I was brought up as a 'chosen one'...
On Thanksgiving morning I decided to do a random flip hoping to get a revelation, the below title hit my eye and I thought to myself, that doesn't work for today, I'll pick again, a little voice in my head told me not to be such a fake and stay true to my selection AND believe - to say I was blown away when I read on, is to put it extremely mildly!!!
Some Will Depart from the Faith 4:1 Now the Spirit expressly says that in later times some will depart from the faith by devoting themselves to deceitful spirits and teachings of demons, 2 through the insincerity of liars whose consciences are seared, 3 who forbid marriage and require abstinence from foods that God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth. 4 For everything created by God is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving, 5 for it is made holy by the word of God and prayer.
You will always find treasure in The Bible....No matter what day it is. God Word is so soothing to the Soul....
