It’s A Library…

Did you know that the Bible is a library within a book! There are 39 books in the Old Testament and 27 books in the New Testament.

In Genesis, you read of a new world being created along with its inhabitants. From there, you read of generations of families and all the messy stuff that comes with relatives. You could meet Noah a gentle man of God who became a laughing stock when he built a giant ship (ark) in the middle of the desert. Who laughed last?

There is magic, witchcraft, and sorcerers shrewd and cunning. There are kings, knights, armor, swords, and fierce battles. There is a giant of a man brought down by a mere boy with a slingshot, good vs. evil.

In the book of Judges you meet Samson and Delilah. Love, lies, trickery, deceit, and destruction. We have the age-old battles between brothers; birthrights, jealousy, revenge and hatred.

Check out the book of Jonah, where a man of God not only goes out on a whale-watching excursion; he gets to travel V.I.P style inside the whale. You can run, but you can’t hide.

We have strong, powerful examples of women within the Bible. Read about how Esther saved her people from a power-hungry mad man. The love of a young widowed bride towards her mother-in-law and the sacrifices she made; to one day become King David’s great-grandmother. God never overlooks our good deeds of love and kindness.

There are shipwrecks, miracles, angels, philosophies, prophecy, stargazers, and mischief-makers. It’s full of how to’s, what to do’s and why you do’s. There are books about the past and books in the future.

These are just a few of the over a hundred stories recalled within those leather-bound pages. Pick it up, dust it off and crack it open; I think you will be pleasantly surprised. If you need a Bible, please message me. Thank you for joining me this morning, and have a blessed day. 🥰
