My wife and kids were watching a show and they were making silly putty. They were the only plant in
the world that supplied it to everyone around the globe.
Anyway, the host decides he’s going to take a 25 pound ball of silly putty and drop it 25 feet onto the concrete. He asked the plant manager if he had ever done it before and he said no. They go to drop it and then of course take a commercial break.
That prompted my wife and me to conclude the outcome. She said it would bounce. I said no it would have enough clay content that it would hit and flatten the ball somewhat making it only slightly move to
the side after doing so.
We get back from the commercial and …… it bounces five feet into the air. The clay content didn’t
smash or flatten at all. It kept its round shape.
Why did I go through all that?
That’s how many people go about their faith. They see a little bit, come to a conclusion and that’s how they roll with it. However, my guess turned out to be wrong. I had played with silly putty as a kid and
remembered it bounced around, but I also remembered that I smashed it onto comics easily also. I haven’t played with much of it for years and was processing the little information I had.
Thank the Lord that with the Word of God I don’t have to guess about salvation or rather He is the true God. The Bible when studied is self sufficient. It comes to life.
Hebrews 4:12- 12 For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the
heart.
Can you imagine a prophecy roughly 1930 years ago that would state no one would buy or sell unless they had a mark and worshipped the beast. That’s absurd when you think about it. That was absurd even 30 years ago.
Now? The banks are already linked. Everything you have purchased without cash and every call you have made on your cell phone is documented. There are cameras everywhere, robotic insects that now can relay photos and sound undetected, satellites with thermal detection at night, etc. Technology is doubling every two years.
God’s Word is the only thing we have that we don’t have to guess. Research it. Research other things around you and you’ll find that they fall short. It is the guiding light of truth in a world that pushes further away from truth more and more every day.
