We all have questions about life ,suffering,
death and the future. More questions like why are we here ,why do people die and so on …. The Bible helps us answers life’s big questions and gives us practical advice on how we can live daily
I’ll be dropping points on how the Bible can be of great help. As we know the Bible is an inspiration from God . God himself has provided better knowledge and understanding in his word. The wisdom of this world is foolish and we received the greatest knowledge from God ,it’s all in his words
Reading the Bible might seem a bit hard for some while some tend to read it to know what happened at some time and how it happened (Bible stories)
We need to understand that every word written had a reason and also a meaning that’s why God has given us the Holy Spirit to help us with bible studying . Yess!!!! He can be of help ,we just tend to not ask for help from him and then Bible study looks so hard . The Holy Spirit can help with the interpretation of verses giving it meaning that you never even thought about .A verse in the Bible can stir up a lot of meanings ,that’s why we need the help of the Holy Spirit
Here are few points on what the Bible can do for you
THE BIBLE CAN GUIDE YOU:[Psalms 119vs105]
The Bible is a powerful light .We can use the Bible to show us how to make good decisions and to help us see what lies ahead
Question 1: How David viewed the Bible in psalms 119vs 105
Psalm 119vs 105: your word is a lamp for my feet ,a light on my path .
David was the writer of the book of psalms and in my perspective I think he viewed it in a “without your word I’ll miss my way ”
And also verse 105 implores us to immerse ourselves in Gods words ,finding in them a source of hope,strength and direction
Checking verse 98-105 we can see that the psalmist knew what he was saying because he was not just emotional,he understood what the word of God meant and how it has really helped him .
In my opinion it was more of like an appraisal to God
He knows how capable the word of God is . Before we can come to a conclusion as humans that something is definitely worth it ,we would have seen it’s effect take place
David saw Gods word as a necessity (a lamp unto his feet and a light unto his part) as a lamp illuminates a dark path allowing us to see where we are going ,Gods word sheds light on our journey,helping us navigate life’s challenges and make decisions that align with his will
In essence ,this verse highlights the importance of scripture in-:
1)Illuminating our understanding
2)Guiding our steps
3) providing direction and purpose.
It emphasizes the role of Gods word as a constant source of guidance,comfort and wisdom in our lives
2)THE BIBLE CAN ANSWER QUESTIONS [Matthew7 vs 7]
Matthew 7:7 — King James Version7:Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:
We all have questions about life and what is happening here on earth ,what will be the point of everything,and what do we have to loose .So many questions!!!! The Bible helps answer these questions and also give practical examples.The Bible can answer your questions.You can’t get knowledge you didn’t search for and you can’t find answers you didn’t look for ,you can’t also receive answers to what you never asked for .
Now read the text above and yes that just all you have to do
And with the help of the Holy Spirit I hope that you get answers to whatever has been bothering your mind
Note to self : we through patience and comfort of the scriptures we might have hope [Romans 15 vs 4]

We will continue on how the Bible can give you Hope in the second part of this article.God bless you all I pray you receive this message and realize that we can rely on Gods word each day of our lives for comfort,direction and guidance
