Today’s Thought “Yeah, But…” G. Ward

“So we have the prophetic word made more sure, to which you do well to pay attention as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star arises in your hearts. But know this first of all, that no prophecy of Scripture is a matter of one’s own interpretation, for no prophecy was ever made by an act of human will, but men moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God.” 2 Peter 1:19-21

 

Agreeing to disagree is not the pedigree of a believer when faced with the Truth in Holy God’s word (cf.1 Pe.3:15). Unlike the magnificence of varied writings, the words from God apply in trans-generational proportion, seeking to protect mankind from presumptive equality with his Maker (cf. Isa.55:8-9). Perhaps you’ve viewed the horror of defense given by many refusing immediate compliance when faced with God’s authority, insisting on an additional scripture or historicity that dilutes the actuality presented? Holy God is/has never been reliant on the intellect of a single man HE proposed for HIS earth. More important is implicit, immediate compliance to what HE says, while life for any exists. The span given man exists to enable a practice therein without corruption (Ps.90:12).

Happy Wednesday!
