Princess 2 Princess With Michele Murry-Pantlick

A Passion for the Word All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work. 2 Timothy 3:16-17 I was reading this scripture one day and God began asking me some really hard questions. The first one He asked was, “Do you really believe this scripture?” What kind of question was that? Of course I believe every single word of the Bible! I've always said if you doubt any part of the Bible, what reason do you have to believe any of it? So, yes…I believe this scripture! Hmmm…okay. Then the questions really started flooding me. If I was so convinced that the Bible is everything it says it is, does my life show what I say I believe? At first glance I would surely think my life reflects my beliefs. But God didn't allow me to stop there. He began probing deeper. For instance, what does the Bible say about hell? When the Bible talks about hell, it is described as a lake of fire, where those whose names are not written in the book of life will spend eternity in constant torment. There will be no relief for them. Eternity is forever. Wow. So what does the way I live my life say about my belief in hell? Do I really believe some of my friends, family, and co-workers who are lost are going there? If I do – am I doing everything I can to help them find the truth? Am I concerned that people are going to hell or am I only concerned with where I will be spending eternity? Does my life tell the lost that I care if they go to hell or not? Am I trying to take others with me to heaven or am I just making sure my spot is secure? Do I fully understand and believe what the Bible says about loving others…even my enemies? Do I pray for them as I should? Do I meet their needs? Do I show them the love of Christ? Or do I talk about the love of God and then live my life choosing to whom I show love, compassion, mercy? Do I point out the bad in people, or do I look beyond and see them as God sees them? Do I give mercy to those who have hurt me? Do I judge others who are different from me? Am I willing to give a hug to the leper of the community? What does my life say about what I believe about Jesus and the examples of love He shows us in the Bible? Do people see Jesus in me in every area of my life – in every situation? Where do I lack? Where do I fall short? What are my weaknesses? Am I working on turning them into strengths or do I use them as an excuse for my behavior? How serious am I about becoming more like Christ? How serious am I about being His messenger? When He looks at my day-to-day life what does it tell Him about my commitment to the calling He has for me? Am I clearing out the clutter? Am I soaking in His Word and letting it change something in me every day? Am I growing as much as I should – as fast as I should? Am I praying with and for my husband enough? Am I praying for my family like I should? Am I mentoring my children the way I should? What am I doing that God doesn't want me to do? What am I not doing that He wants me to do? Am I giving my very best in every area of my life? Do I give God the praise and honor He deserves in my speech – my thoughts – my actions toward others – my faith walk? Just a little food for thought this month… What is your life saying about what you believe about the Bible?
