2 Peter 1:19-21
19 We also have the prophetic message as something completely reliable, 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. 20 Above all, you must
understand that no prophecy of Scripture came about by the prophet’s own interpretation of things. 21 For prophecy never had its origin in the human will, but prophets, though human, spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.
Reflection
The other place that God reveal’s God’s self to us is through scripture. This is God speaking to us through the power of the Holy Spirit helping prophets to reveal God to us. The key to this is that the scriptures are not a dead sealed document written thousands of years ago it is alive and active. Because it is alive and active scriptures role in our life should be more than as source material that we memorize for inspiration. It is the beginning of a never-ending tale of God’s love that calls us to be God’s followers and share that message with the world. Why do you think we do not have an appreciation for the word of God that has been revealed to us in scripture?
