Trails And Trials!
"Search the Scriptures, for…
these are they which testify
of Me."
John 5: 39
A. W. Tozer seldom used an unnecessary
word.
His sentences were plain and vivid, connecting
with readers like an electrical circuit.
Listen to this Tozer paragraph: “One great concern I
have is many of today’s Christians are not taking the
Word of God seriously. And for whatever reason, the
Scriptures do not have authority in the Christian’s life
in the way that is necessary for him or her to live a
life to the glory of God."
We must take the Scriptures seriously because
the Scriptures take the Lord seriously. We learn
of Jesus through His Word: His glory, humanity,
wisdom, resurrection, enthronement, coming,
and everlasting reign.
By turning our eyes to the Bible, we turn our
gaze to Him, and that
changes the way we
view the trails and trials of earth.
When you take the Bible seriously, you’ll grow
closer
to Christ—becoming stronger in Him and more joyful
whatever befalls you. Ask the Lord to give you a love
for His Word—and for His Son!
"If we are going to be empowered
by the Holy Spirit, we must start
by taking the Bible seriously."
A. W. Tozer
