2 Peter 1:21 (NIV)
21 For prophecy never had its origin in the human will,
but prophets, though human, spoke from God as they were carried along by
the Holy Spirit.
Although one can derive inspiration from any portion of the
Scripture, it is better to have an understanding of the general structure of
the Bible to get the most out of it. The Old Testament is an account of a
nation, Israel. Out of that nation came Jesus Christ, the Savior of the world.
The New Testament is an account of a Man, the Son of man, the Savior. God
Himself became a man, so that we might know what He is like. His appearance on
the earth was the central, most important event of history. The Old Testament
gives the background for this event; the New Testament tells the story of its
fulfillment. You will find a unity of thought and purpose which indicates that
one mind inspired the writing of the whole.
Thought for today:
Do I ask for discernment when I pray?
