I have a camping trip planned in August with some of the guys. For some reason camping trips always conjure up memories of different types of foods and snacks that we end up with, one of which is Trail Mix. Who doesn’t like to grab a big ol’ bag and start munching on it while you’re sitting around the campfire and swapping stories with the guys? It’s a natural camp food!
There are two methods to eating trail mix though. One way is to grab a handful and shove it in your mouth. But there are some folks out there that will hand pick their favorite ingredients, like the M&Ms, or the Chex cereal, or the pretzels, or whatever they like most. You never want to share a bag with those guys!
Some people treat the Bible that way as well. Do you just pick out the pieces you like and ignore the rest? Or do you read the whole Word of God? Certainly there are scriptures that apply to particular situations that we are facing in a moment, but just know that all of his Word is true and valuable. Read and believe the Bible from Genesis to Revelation!
Revelation 22:19 (NLT) - “And if anyone removes any of the words from this book of prophecy, God will remove that person’s share in the tree of life and in the holy city that are described in this book.”
