This is devotional thought number 9 in our devotional series, “Stewarding the Heart.”
“Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.” (2 Peter 1:20, 21).
Frequently we encounter individuals who read the Bible with their own slant on the texts. They read with no real desire to do the things contained therein. Still, others read the Bible just for reading’s sake and have no definite purpose for doing so. In either case, no real benefit will come from such haphazard reading. Yes, one may breathe the influence of God’s Spirit, but it will probably dissipate very soon, as in the parable of the sower in Matthew 13.
Peter was one of the three disciples who actually saw the transfiguration of Jesus (Matthew 17:1-8). He witnessed with his own eyes a partial fulfillment of Jesus’ prophecy, “…There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.” (Matthew 16:28). He and his fellows witnessed the dazzling transformation of Christ’s form, which made Him appear brighter than any fuller could whiten. They heard the voice of God the Father validate Jesus’ ministry, in a way similar to the time when Jesus was baptized. Because of this, Peter said that his confidence in the prophecies was even stronger. The prophecies led genuine seekers step by step to the coming of Messiah. They were able to trace the interpretations so that they would know without a doubt who their Savior was when He finally appeared.
Did you know that God used forty individuals to write the Bible over a period of fifteen hundred years, and in three languages? Every word and every prophecy somehow points to Jesus (John 5:39). There are no contradictions, although to those not willing to believe, it may appear so. Only God Himself could have overseen such a cohesive work. The words of the Bible are in the language of men, but because God inspired (breathed upon) the men, their writings became the Word of God. Just as the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, according to John one, the Bible was written through men’s, language, culture, and experience for our understanding. Wouldn’t it be terrible if God communicated His Word in some heavenly language that we could not grasp? The way for us to understand the scriptures as God intended is to rely on the same Holy Ghost who moved on the holy men who wrote them.
The Bible is our only rule and guide for righteous living. It would be well if we would prayerfully consider every word on its pages that we too might be moved upon to receive the revelation of God.
