Take God's Word as an absolute -Live outside of the fishbowl! Through the eyes of a fish In the fishbowl the fish lives his life looking at his reflection in the glass. He sees himself in the mirror and only has the fish in the fishbowl to compare himself to. He argues with his siblings some but they are all familiar with each other. They know how they look and act. They just eat, swim, and rest. He doesn't know that life outside the bowl is huge in comparison... Outside the bowl We sit on this planet earth not realizing the outside of it much of the time. The more we look to Jesus and what has already been done for us, the more we see outside of the bowl. When we know that His word is the truth it makes the fish-language we hear everyday seem small and pointless! When we are speaking His Word, we are quoting the truth! God's Word is the words of truth from outside the planet earth fishbowl! Saved When we come to say that Jesus is Lord and believe that God raised Him from the grave we are saved (Romans 10:9,10). It doesn't matter what we've believed before. It doesn't matter what we've done. It doesn't matter what we've said... When we do what it to do in Romans 10:9,10 then we are moved into the kingdom of God. God made things simple for us because He loves us so much more than we can imagine (Ephesians 3:17-19). God's Word Is Absolute In order to remain seeing the truth clearly then we need to take God's Word as an absolute. It is completely truth. There isn't part of it that's a lie. There isn't part of it that's wavering in the wind in anyway. It's absolutely the truth. You and I open ourselves up to receive the good stuff that God really wants us to have when we really know this. When outside the fishbowl we find that God has offered to give us many things. It is our choice whether or not we receive the gifts... When we read the inspired, written word of God we find that He didn't say to wish hopefully and He would give it to us. In many different ways God said that if we ask and believe that we get it, we will have it. (Mark 11:24). In doing this, you and the rest of the planet Earth fishbowl will be able to see the gift! Get into the Spirit inspired Word of God (the Bible). Read and apply what He told you in your life today and everyday! You will find more and more good changes happening! -Michelle Jacobson P.S.
