I am not a math girl, but I am completely enthralled with hidden messages, mysteries, history, and archeology.
I have always been curious about numbers in the Bible. Biblical numerology is the study of numbers in the Bible as part of the mystery and the message. Seven, three, four, and forty seem to be significant.
This "Did You Know That?" was intriguing to me. What message is in the middle of the Bible?
"It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in people." -Psalm 118:8
Lies and deception are everywhere and easily spread. Some come disguised as truth. A reminder to take our refuge in God is key. Putting our faith in any human is a perfect recipe for disaster. A reminder to look to God is a flawless "central message."
God really hates deception. He can see our thoughts and knows our hearts and loves us anyway. Humans, too often, have our own agendas. God is always truthful and trustworthy. Satan twists the truth and whispers for us to twist it, too. No lie is little. Each one makes our souls a little heavier. These are the burdens we were never meant to carry.
A central message at the core of the Bible is a reminder to trust and take refuge in the Lord. He is our Creator, Sustainer, Shelter, Rescuer, Shepherd, Healer, Friend, Savior, and King. He is trustworthy. We humans are all sinful, but he still hears our cries for help when we seek His face. Keep seeking. Keep holding on the the message at the core of His Word:
One more time:
"It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in people." -Psalm 118:8
That verse is worth marking in your Bible! It is like that first coffee of the day. It is necessary, comforting, and wonderful.
Today, I am grateful for the central message.
