WE TURN OUT SOMEHOW

 People, friends, antagonists, not so friendly friends, brothers, and sisters (reared exactly like we were ) “walk” through life, and we turn out to be who we are. Every person’s way of living, thinking has gradually “grown” to the present. What is mysterious is that in those continuous conscious and unconscious thoughts and decisions we become who we are; we “turn us out”.

 

If we believe Scripture and are faithful to reading it, seeking the truth and wisdom of it, we grow wise. If our mind and heart is continuously influenced by secular thinking, doubters, deceivers that is how we will “turn out”.  Pro 23:7 for as he thinks in his heart, so is he…

 

I have decided to believe the Bible, to mull over what I do not understand, to act on what I do.  It is an exciting adventure to think Biblically. My Dad was a Bible fan:  I cannot thank him enough for making sure that all his family, he, Mom, and eight of us children read the Bible aloud together three times a day. Yes, three times for 30 minutes after breakfast, dinner, and supper, as they called it. He planned this time into our day because he could. He was an evangelist, and his family was his first mission field.

 

The doubters of Scripture are missing profound growth and wisdom. Here is the point:  The Bible says that “all scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the (person) man of God may be (complete) perfect, thoroughly furnished to all good works.” (2 Timothy 3:16,17)

 

Jesus words (from Mark), “Heaven and earth shall pass away, but My Words shall not pass away…”

 

When heaven and earth passes, and there is a Day coming when everything will change … for good, we can be ready. The One who keeps your heart beating, the One who hangs the world upon nothing, the One Who came down here to this sin filled world and died for your sins and mine to save us…He is coming again. 

Just after He ascended to Heaven, after His death and resurrection…The stunned disciples stared up into the clouds where Jesus had ascended back to his Father in heaven.  Angels appeared to them. "Two men stood by them in white apparel; Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.” (Act 1:11)

 

But of that day and hour no one knows, no, not the angels in Heaven, nor the Son, but the Father. 

Take heed, watch and pray, for you do not know when the time is. (Mark 13:31,32)
