Today’s scripture: 2 Peter 1:19-21
These verses are full of richness and affirmation and explanation.
First, Peter reminds us that we can be assured the “prophetic word” in God’s
word is “sure.” It is a “lamp shining in a dark place.”
Next, he asserts that any prophecy in God’s word is God’s. Not men’s. Each and
every word in the Bible was inspired by God. They were written down by men, yes, but
they were “moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God.”
Many skeptics assert that the Bible is full of contradictions or that so many
translations or interpretations have diluted its original meaning. But I
believe that, just as the Spirit wrote through the pens of men, He worked
through the pens of those who faithfully copied each word. And He continues to
work through interpreters or translators today.
We can be assured that God’s is truth. We read His words. And through those
words, we learn about Him and His will. We learn about His heart and love for
His children.
What an amazing gift with which we've been blessed!
