All Scripture is God-breathed...
2 Timothy 3:16 NIV
God breathed
theopneustos (from "theos", God and "pneo" breathed out)
Paul is telling us that God breathed out His word.
The Bible is more than a collection of writings, stories, accounts, poems & prophecies, but the breathed out word of God.
And if we read it, we allow God's breath to speak into, to speak life into...us.
"If only God would speak to me!"
Well He has.
He's breathed out His Word so we can breathe it in.
Just gotta read it...

Genesis 15.8-18.ESV But he said O Lord God , how am I to know that I shall possess it? ...When the sun had gone down and it was dark, behold, a smoking fire pot and a flaming torch passed between these pieces. On that day the Lord made a covenant with Abram... March 15 was the last day we looked at Abram's story...he was questioning God and this is God's response...sacrifices and smoke and fire and a covenant...a promise... Isn't that what we crave for sometimes? God, if only you'd just show me smoke & fire, a burning bush a sign, miracle, healing...then all my questions would disappear...all my doubts would be gone... 2moro we'll see Abram's response but I think God values our faith in spite of our questions and doubts. That we choose Him anyway #faith
