Thank the Lord!! Praise His GLORIOUS NAME

Ah... so wonderful a feeling.
When conflicts are resolved, it gives a very nice sensation.
At least when you make an effort to resolve it.
So nice... it'd be good if we could all do that for all our lives.
God tells us that He will judge. And many people think that means that they will get punished the way we think. But God offers forgiveness and grace, we don't think its satisfying but it's not our decision, its not our choice what his punishment is.

Something that's been bothering me lately is the fact that many people use verses from the Bible out of context to try to make a point. If you look though, when Jesus was in the desert being tempted, Satan used the same tactic. Which can make you really think, is it right to do so? Even if it is for a righteous reason, it may come out wrong and that's never good. I've experienced this in the past. And luckily I've learned from it.
So now, I've decided that I'm going to ACTUALLY... like REALLY try to finish all of the bible. Currently I'm on Numbers.
For example, many of the verses from the book of Job are when Job is questioning God and his friends are telling Job to curse God and just end his life. But unless you understand the entire story, and you read all of it, you cannot use each little verse. It is the story that gives the meaning, not the phrases that make up the story. Unless you have all of it, it is incomplete and the proper meaning does not come across.
