Thought for the Day:
“Initially, we learn to have faith through God’s Word. Once we begin to experience Him working in our lives firsthand – helping us, carrying us, and lifting us up when we are down – our faith becomes stronger. It is through these experiences that we begin to grow in and rely on the faith that He will always be there for us to help us rise above any tough times we may face.” (see Psalm 71:20-21) I hope you have a spectacular day today my friends! – Elmer Laydon
I have been checking out The Whisper of God and have enjoyed and been blessed. Today was the first time for me to step back and question what I read. I think it is true that some people come to faith by way of the “God’s Word” — which I take to mean the Bible. I think people most often come to faith in other ways — other people, self-discovery, experiences, creation, literature, etc. Engaging Holy Scripture can then nuture that faith as the Spirit speaks/blesses. That is when the Bible becomes the Word of God. Just some thoughts about the thought.
