But there is a spirit in man: and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth them understanding. Great men are not always wise: neither do the aged understand judgment. Job 32:8 -9

What inspires you? Do you have the inspiration of the Almighty? Do you trust what he is telling you? Why are there so many interpretations of the Bible?

I had an email conversation with someone curious to know why I haven’t posted in a while. I believe him to be a brother in Christ even though we haven’t met. I told him that I had been busy and that when I did have time to write I wasn’t inspired to write anything. I did not realize that God would build off of the word “inspired” in my reply back to him. So the answer to my first question “what inspires you” has to be God. Now I realize that I draw inspiration from a lot of different places; my wife, kids, family and friends are just a few examples, but I am talking about spiritual inspiration.

The living word which is the “Holy Bible” is an excellent source of inspiration. Talk to God and take time to listen is another excellent place to find inspiration. Be sure to listen or you might miss out on your inspiration. Be willing to do what he tells you if you want to continue to be inspired by Him.

Look at 2nd Timothy 3:12-17 Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.  13But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived. 14But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them; 15And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. 16All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:  17That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.

Do the first part of those few verses sound like the world today? Evil men and seducers are waxing worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived. If you need an example look at California. Do you think God intended for marriage to be between two men or two women?

Now lets look at the next four verses and take comfort in what is written there. It is an example for us to continue in the things which we have learned even from a child, it has made us wise unto salvation through faith (which is the only way). The scripture “all scripture is given by inspiration of God and is profitable for doctrine, reproof, correction, and instruction in righteousness. God set this world up, sent His only Son to die on a cruel cross for our sins and on the third day rise again victorious over death, hell and the grave. He gave Godly men the inspiration to write the books of the bible for us to use as a rule and guide for our everyday spiritual lives. Take comfort that God did this for us, his people.   

God sent his word to us so we could find Devine Inspiration. To my brother in Christ that wrote to check on me thank you, I found inspiration from God in my reply to you.

Until next time may God richly bless you!
