Inspiration
All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness.
2 Timothy 3:16 (KJV)
Reading and Learning
Critics once reserved their sharpest criticism for the early chapters of Genesis, dismissing the stories of the patriarchs as legend. But in recent years, archeological discoveries have repeatedly confirmed that Genesis gives highly accurate accounts of the names, places, trade routes, and customs of patriarchal times. Archeologists have found cuneiform tablets containing references to people such as Abraham and his brothers, Nahor and Haran. Tablets also explain puzzling customs, such as Abraham's and Jacob's practice of having children by a servant girl; the tablets show this was a common practice at the time. Yet, only a few centuries after the patriarchs lived, many of these names and practices and even some cities had completely disappeared. Contrary to what critics once claimed, it would have been impossible for the Bible writers to invent these stories later. They would have to have invented events that, by sheer chance, matched places and customs by then long forgotten.

I have seven more quarts of ground turkey canned for later! I'm loving building up this supply of meat.
On My Mind
Sometimes I wish I could know what God is thinking, what He wants me to do, what is heart is for a whatever situation or circumstance is at hand. Then I realize that He gave me a way of answer these questions - His Word. It is alive and active and will never lead me the wrong way but I have to know it. I have to be familiar with it. Actively immersing my mind and heart in His Word should be a part of my life in the same way that eating, drinking, and sleeping are a part of my life - because it is even more important than any of those activities. Without a clear knowledge of His Word all my eating, drinking and sleeping and their benefits are for nothing.
Today's Quote
Scripture is like a pair of spectacles which dispels the darkness and gives us a clear view of God.
