I am amazed at how God's Word works. It truly is a supernatural book. No other book I know does what it does. It's the living Word of God. . . given to us. That ought to humble us and make us want to read it every once in awhile. The one thing about the Bible (1611 KJV, to be exact) that continues to keep me in awe is how one passage of scripture can yeild different things to different people in different situations at different times. One verse may minister to me in one way and the person next to me in the pew on Sunday who is in a totally different situation. I heard a preacher the other day make the comment that you could preach the Word forever and never preach everything contained in the book. I was made accutely aware of this the other day when I heard two great messages by (yep, you guessed it) Handley Milby...both using the same text, but geared in two different directions. What they did have in common was both messages were smothered with the Holy Spirit. The text is from the Story of Noah in Genesis. The first is directed to the blood-washed born again children of God urging us to look to Noah as inspiration for right living (and before you think it's one of those flowery messages, Brother Milby hammers down on sin...alot and I say, More power to him!) and the second was geared toward the lost...those who fail to make it right with the Lord before they leave out of this world, who will one day find themselves outside the ark begging to get inside. So, enjoy both of these...I certainly did.
