Here is one of my favorite quotes ever:
Many read the Bible the way a mouse tries to remove the cheese from a trap without getting caught. - Kierkegaard
To me this quote strikes us at our core beliefs with several penetrating questions:
- Do we really want to know God better?
- Do we really believe that the Bible is God's Word revealed to us?
- Do we accept that God has authority over us?
- If God tells us through the Bible we are wrong, are we willing to do something about it?
God, I pray that You will speak to me through Your Word in the Bible. Convict me where I ignore You. Build up my faith so I want to be closer to You and want to do Your will. Strengthen me as I make tough choices and make the changes You are calling me to make. Amen
