Legacy of the Holy Bible

I lay quietly reflecting on this past year and remembered the situation in the earth quaked nation of Haiti.

I wondered how this past year has impacted the lives of so many devastated, left homeless, and their relationship with Jesus Christi, if any, was left. Watching a program, Travel the Road, these missionaries visited Haiti a few days after the earthquake and examined the scene of broken buildings, roads, government and long lines of a desperate people hoping for parcels of food from relief agencies (volunteers from around the world).  My heart hurt from the scene of so many beautiful people being shoved, pushed and fights breaking out at these relief stations.

But not the lives of  some of the Haitian Christians!  Their spirits were praising the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the midst of their terror. They had made it through the worst of the disaster!  They were alive and lived to tell of their God for another day. 

How can a person praise in the middle of such a circumstance?  They had a relationship with Jesus Christ!

God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth (John 4:24). 

The Holy Bible is our legacy inspired by the Holy Spirit:

My own spirit was lifted as I viewed the video of  Haitians praising in the hospital.  Who better to testify of God's goodness!  The Word (from the Holy Bible) obviously was deeply embedded into their spirits and they know they have a future filled with hope.

Guideline:

• Read your bible daily;
• Learn the scriptures;
• Have faith in God's word (as told in the Holy Bible);
• Scriptures are bread for your spirit to live by

^{Isaiah 35:2-4
2}It shall blossom abundantly, and rejoice even with joy and singing: the glory of Lebanon shall be given unto it, the excellency of Carmel and Sharon, they shall see the glory of the LORD, and the excellency of our God.
 ³Strengthen ye the weak hands, and confirm the feeble knees.
 ⁴Say to them that are of a fearful heart, Be strong, fear not: behold, your God will come with vengeance, even God with a recompence; he will come and save you.

Indeed God did come and save (by and through Jesus Christ) his Haitian people!

I, too, was inspired to write this short article to testify of one of so many of God's goodness as these Haitians touched my own life.
