It’s 10:57 pm and I am bone tired. I didn’t think it was possible to be this tired and still be awake, yet here I am. Unless this is some kind of very strange dream.

I think it’s all connected. God is true and God’s Word is true and you pretty much have to have both, because if the Word is from God, then it has to be as reliable as He is. I’m convinced you can trust both with your life. Because both will lead you to Jesus if you know how to read them.

I think that it helps if you think of the Bible as Letters from Home. Kinda like those letters you got from mom when you were in college. Only infinitely better, of course. It’s all about showing you how God never gave up on making a way for you to come Home. How He made a way where there was no way previously. How He became that Way in Jesus.

Think of the Bible as God’s love letter to you. How your rebellion grieved His heart, but instead of bailing on you, God chose to win you back through loving tenderness in a thousand ways, culminating in Jesus’ death on the cross. That showed true love in its highest, purest form.

All that for something I don’t read nearly enough. All that for a God I all too often pay token lip service to. He deserves so much more. If you and I can find a few more stolen moments to spend with Him, I believe that will make an impact on how we live and how we treat others. It will change how we see God and how we see ourselves through Christ.

I won’t even touch fasting, because I am still working on that one myself. But make it a priority to do whatever it takes to know God and know His heart, so you can be changed by that. But more than that, because He’s so infinitely worth it!

Amen and amen!
