The Lord may not give us all that we desire but He has often changed my desires to meet His wishes for my life. BTW I read your "your judgmental" post and I hardly agree!

Especially the last paragraph. The more I study the Bible, the more I am compelled to study further. Sometimes, I find a verse, and then later, find another one that seems to complement the first one, or balance it out, so to speak. This goes right back to what you said: "I think to keep verses in context we really need to research the entire chapter and Bible." It's so easy to isolate one verse and misinterpret it because you haven't gained proper context by reading the chapter/book in its entirety. Also, thanks for the links you left for me. I've started reading those archives already... they're wonderful! I always love to read your perspectives on various subjects... especially (shhh....) the "S" word!

It is something everyone should stop and think about. God wants to give us the desires of our heart, if we only ask Him. I love Psalms. I find myself coming back to them again and again. It is the same with the book of Proverbs. :) Hope you are having a super week! :) God bless, Your SSA Great post! It is something everyone should stop and think about.

Our own personal interpretation of Scripture is worthless and I believe that by doing so, we're adding to God's Word, which is sinful because it's against God (Revelation 22:18). Here's a quote by Leonardo da Vinci that I thought interesting because it's so true!: "The greatest deception men suffer is from their own opinions." As Christians, we're to read all of God's Word and see it all as His pure Word. When we don't understand something, then we're to ask for His wisdom (James 1:5). There are also some things though, that I do believe we'll just never be able to comprehend in this earthly life. You're absolutely correct that the Bible is so simple, but from what I've observed, man keeps making it so much more complicated than what it truly is (which is so very sad). Here we're back to that quote again . . . When man's opinion gets in the way, he only suffers because he's not willing to look at the Truth. Your sister in Christ ~ Erin Amen, sister!
