Psalm 147: 3 (NIV)
He heals the brokenhearted and binds up
their wounds.
|
 |
Our faith has its own unique past, where God personally intervened.* |
 |
I
know that this verse is true. How do I know? 1) The Bible tells me so; and 2)
my personal experience proves it. Which is the more convincing testimony? Is
someone more likely to believe the Bible or me? Which evidence would carry more
weight in court?
Who
you believe depends on whom you trust. If you are a new Christian with little
knowledge or experience with the Bible but you know me, then it is my job to be
a reliable witness. If I can get you to believe me, I can lead you to trust
what God’s Word says . . . in theory. I
may know that God heals the broken-hearted but really, how do I make someone
else know it?
I
am a person who likes (loves) step-by-step (written) procedures so I am
uncomfortable with instructions that consist of a list of one. But when it
comes to matters of faith, there is just one step: Do it. If
you have never trusted God with your broken heart, I dare you to take that
first step. You may not have much faith when you take the first step but you
will when you take the second one. So help me God.

Faith that goes forth triumphs.* |
