I
did not get my Spiritual Diary done for this morning because I had to take my
wife to an appointment to get a procedure done that we pray will help to get
rid of any remaining cancer in her body.
I have been studying and thinking and doing some research on Psalm
139:16 “Your eyes have seen
my formless substance; And in Your book were written All the days that were
ordained for me, When as yet there was not one of them.” David is the
author of the 139th Psalm and some commentators say that this verse
only applies to David, and some say that it is for everyone. My thoughts are that God is in control and He
is the one who determines when a person is born and when a person will die, and
that is what many commentators have said about this. I spoke with a couple of our Pastors at our
church and they think the way that I do about this. Now think about using this verse to witnesses
to somebody and then explain to them that God is in control of when you were
born and when you will die, and this use that information to tell them that you
don’t know when they will die, and so it is a good time now to accept the
forgiveness that God offers them through the life, death, burial, and resurrection
of Jesus Christ when He did for them on the cross. One of the attributes of God is that He is
all knowing and so that means that He certainly knows when a person will be
born and when they will die. Now back to
the kind of treatment that my wife is beginning to receive for any more cancer
that may be in her body after having her operation almost four weeks ago. All the cancer that we know that she had in
her female organs has been removed, and it is our prayer that she does not have
any more in her body, but about 8-9 weeks ago when we knew she had cancer she
went on a new type of diet, a diet that has very little to no sugar in it,
especially the kind of sugar that come out of a box. Cancer loves sugar and so the less you put
into your body the better your body is to fight cancer. She got a large dose of vitamin c this
morning and will continue to have this done for a while as this is a good way
to fight cancer. It works on the line of
taking insulin which is something else we are looking into. A person who does not have high blood sugar
who is under professional care gets a shot of insulin in the morning and then
the cancer in their body will run to it and the insulin will kill it. Ok that is enough update on my wife, and once
again I ask those who read this will pray for Sandy, that the Lord will be
merciful to both of us and allow her to get rid of her cancer, and I will say
thank you in advance.
I am just going to begin looking at
the subject “The Inspired And Inerrant Scripture” by quoting from John
MacArthur’s commentary as it may be the best way for me to do these Spiritual
Diaries on this wonderful subject about Scripture.
“Scripture is inspired and inerrant in both testaments. All Scripture refers
to the New as well as to the Old Testament.
As noted above, the hieros
grammata (‘sacred writings’) were the Hebrew Scriptures (the Old
Testament), which Timothy had been taught from childhood (v. 15). Graphe (Scripture),
on the other hand, was commonly used in the early church not only of the Old
Testament but also of God’s newly revealed Word, in what came to be called the
New Testament.
“During His earthly ministry, Jesus
gave powerful and unambiguous testimony to the divine authority of both
testaments. The four gospels contain the
first divine revelation after that of the Old Testament prophets, which had
ceased some four hundred years earlier.
Jesus’ declaration that ‘Scripture [graphe]
cannot be broken’ (John 10:35) applied specifically to the Hebrew Scriptures
but also, as will be seen, to the totality of Scripture, that is, to both
testaments, which together compose God’s written Word.
“Early in His ministry, Jesus said
of the Old Testament, ‘Do not think that I came to abolish the Law or the
Prophets; I did not come to abolish, but to fulfill. For truly I say to you, until heaven and
earth pass away, not the smallest letter or stroke shall pass away from the
Law, until all is accomplished’ (Matt. 5:17-18). Later He said, ‘It is easier for heaven and
earth to pass away than for one stroke of a letter of the Law to fail’ (Luke
16:17).
Spiritual Meaning for My life Today: This sections has just renewed my love for the
Word of God, something that God has given me a love for when He saved me over
51 years ago.
My Steps of Faith for Today: We, (my wife and I) trust that the Lord will
be glorified as He guides us through the test of cancer we are going through.
