Ever wondered if you'll lose track of what you are trying to say.. with so many points.. and trying to keep yourself coherent.. and not contradicting yourself? I was at the point of imagining the words overflowing off the top of my head (where my brain is) and I had to fumble all over, trying to remember what I said in the beginning in the first place.
Suddenly I realised why I'm going through this.. so that I may learn to treasure the written Word of God even more..
My Lord God Almighty.. He inspired the Word of God through a compilation of 66 books altogether in a Bible. According to agards-bible-timeline.com, there are some 783,137 words in the King James Bible alone.
And you know what? The Word of God is not only coherent, it is also full of truth, grace, love and discipline. Awesome!
2 Timothy 3:16-17
All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.
