Encouraged by God’s Plan

We all travel through life attempting to find our way to happiness and peace of mind.  Some will seek out fortune, others fame, others power, and others are basically looking for personal pleasure.  Most men and women acknowledge that there is a God who created us and quite a few have trusted in the pages of the Bible for a clear understanding of who God is and what His strategy is for this world.  The pages of the Bible have many stories that offer hope, wisdom, and guidance.  It’s not difficult to find words of encouragement from the Bible and develop a personalized plan for your life.  The Bible delivers advice and direction that anyone can use to discover a clear direction to travel in this life.

Individuals who accept God as the creator of all things also tend to trust that God has a hand in all that takes place here in the world.  Believers trust the notion that God has a plan for you, and me, and every person on this earth.  It is recognized that by reading the Bible from cover-to-cover a full awareness of God’s personal plan for each of us can be discovered.  Every single story in the Bible has an element that will hit home for each of us.  As we go through the pages of this ancient book, elements of our own existence take root in the lessons being learned by the characters and situations being studied.  If we are diligent readers and examine this work from front to back, we will most assuredly learn as much about ourselves as we do about the stories being told. 

Christian believers believe the Bible to be alive, active, and able to speak directly to the reader in a miraculous way.  Christians do not think of the Bible as a book; they understand it to be the Word of God and accept the notion that God’s Word has the power to penetrate your heart as you read.  A passage you examine today may have a completely different personal understanding tomorrow as circumstances in your life change and the Word of God adapts to your life in a particular way. 

You don’t have to be a believer to recognize that there is no other book like the Bible.  This book, written thousands of years ago, continues to make a remarkable impact in this world every day.  Around the world this book is worshiped, hated, revered, and despised.  If this were an normal book, it probably would have been forgotten about a few hundred years ago, but the evidence demonstrates this is no ordinary book; indeed the Bible is the most amazing book ever created.  For this reason alone, it deserves the consideration of all people on earth and should be read at least once by all.
