God's Word, the Bible is our guidebook for earthly living. That means we need to know what's in it and and then use it to live our lives by. And in the Word, there are things like blessings and prophecies that are very important because they show us God's promises as well as His already done deeds. They show how He keeps His promises and how those who do His bidding are blessed and prophecy on His behalf. Now it's very important that we believe those things because it deepens our faith, letting us know that if God could do such and so forth for others, He can, and will do the same for us. That means we can depend on and trust in Him, surrender our souls and lives completely to Him, because He is an ever-faithful and trustworthy God. And until we learn to do that, our lives will remain miserable and unfulfilled. And that can only happen when we familiarize ourselves with His Word. Much LOVE!
