Look At What I Got!

2 Peter 1:19 And we have the word of the prophets made more certain, and you will do well to pay attention to it, as to a light shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts.

Remember how as kids we would say to our friends, "look at what I got"? We couldn't wait to show them something that was given to us. What if we had the same excitement over having the Word in our lives!

How are you coming on being in the Word? Remember, you will do well! In the verse I've chosen for this blog God is telling us that the Word shines like a light in a dark place. And we know the world can seem dark and hopeless at times. Sometimes our own personal worlds could use a little "light on the situation" And what does God give us? His Word of promise and peace. The Word that tells us we are forgiven, that death has no power over us, that we are never alone!

I've been itching to buy a new Bible lately. I love books but I haven’t bought a Bible recently. Some of mine are getting old and kind of worn. Isn't it great to know that what’s inside will never fade or grow old? I looked through some of those old Bibles, a couple from friends, one from an uncle. And then one from my parents at Christmas back in 1972. I would have been 11. What they wrote I share with with you.

This book Johnny will teach you all you ever need to know about life. May Jesus bless you and show us all the way to heaven.

Thanks mom and dad and thank you Lord, for a gift that still gives after all these years! I will do well to pay attention, so will you!

Look at what I got, look at what YOU got!!!

In Christ,
Pastor John
