A need to explore through my Bible became more crucial than sleep. Slipping my hands beneath my pillow I felt around until I discovered its presence. My grandma had a special way of choosing a Bible by opening them up and stroking her hand across the pages.

Certainly, it’s no comparison to any book on this earth. It’s very much alive! In it contains the answers to everything life hurls our way. From page to page records the victories and the downfalls of mankind. Kings, priest, warriors, prophets, the ill-struck and so much more. At one time I pondered on nameless individuals in the Bible. There’s the adulterous, the centurion whose servant came eye to eye with death, the servant himself, the woman with the issue of blood and many more. They all have one thing in common, refusal to except their state of being   thrusted them into redemption, Jesus. Names aren’t important, their faith is. Surely there is someone, more than one can fill in the signature line saying, “I have an issue of blood. How can I be delivered from prostitution?” Drug, alcohol addictions? Yes, there is a fix that will not have side-effects: anything and anywhere there is a need. Jesus is the answer!

“All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 2 Timothy 3:16 KJV

There is a song called, Dust on The Bible, written by Mac Wiseman. I’ll be the first to confess, many times I have failed to pick my Bible up to read due to discouragement, or becoming to busy and tired. God forgive me!

“He came unto his own, and his own received him not. But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.”  John 1:11-14 KJV

God sets in a place by Himself. In Hebrews 6:13 describes the sincerity of promoting Abraham’s promise of fathering a great nation. …“because he could swear by no greater, he sware by himself,” says it all.

My desire is to go beyond the outer courts and into His throne room, His personal domain.
