a history lesson

For everything that was written in the past was written to teach us, so that through the endurance taught in the Scriptures and the encouragement they provide we might have hope.

– Romans 15:4 

 Remember sitting through history class (or sleeping through it)?

How would we learn about our past if we didn’t have the stories that we know as “history”?

Well guess what?

God has not left us without a witness of His work on the earth.

He has given us 66 books written by 44 authors over a span of 1500 years from 3 continents.

We have the opportunity to get inside the human experience with God and it given to put courage in our souls as we wrestle with our own opportunities and failures.

In other words, the Bible is God’s gift from the past to give us the endurance that we need for today and the hope we need for tomorrow. 

Hey, read any good books lately?

Have a blessed day!
