Whats wrong with Scripture?

NOTHING..........

Psalm 19:7-10
The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul;
The testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple;
8 The statutes of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart;
The commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes;
9 The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring forever;
The judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether.
10 More to be desired are they than gold,
Yea, than much fine gold;
Sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.

There is no problem with Scripture back then or today. God has not changed and He is the same from beginning to end, (of this creation), and in heaven: from forever to forever, "He changeth not."
So it would go then that what was, is, and will be forever, Himself, His Word, Christ and the Holy Spirit all have eternal presence. They are all one with three distinct applications in God's plan so that we can "return to God through Christ led by the Holy Spirit."

As Psalm 19:7-10 proves, everything about God's communication with man through His written/spoken/manifested (in Christ) Words are for our (mans) blessing and hearty continuance. If "let God be true and every man a liar" is true (and it is), then where does the fault come in with the interpretation and manifestation of it? How come it fails to give real and assured hope for our day and needs?

The fault relies on the "ears that hear" to "hear aright the Word of the Lord." There was a period of 400 yrs back in the OT where there was no Word of the Lord being spoken by prophet or "man of God." No guidance from God to man at all. Nothing. 

Why? Because man had hardened his heart to His Word and until there was a starvation in the land "for that Word" then the speaking of it was useless. No one obeyed, sought after, cared about, or remembered its value. Like the seed sown on the different soils. After a farmer sows seed on poor ground enough times, he gives up hope for a harvest there, then lets nature (the applications of life) take its course of changing it's germinating condition. Seed will once again be broadcast when the ground is ready for germinating a harvest.

So we are today. People have been so long without "manifestation" of God's promises and deliverance that the common practice is to "turn a deaf ear to them." All of this comes from man's personal/or instructed interpretation of Scripture which of course becomes weaker with time and lack of faith.

So as not to beat a dead horse, here's what I propose for a personal application:
Become familiar with God and all His glory. The way Scripture describes Him! Then whenever you read those Scriptures don't base the interpretation on "what you have seen or experienced" but what the Word says and promises. Learn to pray as with great passion, like your situation depends on Divine Intervention, "EXPECTING" great things to be done in your behalf by God. Let God be God in your life. Not questioning but "believing" that what He has done in the past He will do for you today. 

Believe in who God is and since He sent His Son to redeem you by His blood, then everything else is not only true but guaranteed. "We are closer now than when we first began," is what Paul said about His coming again. Jesus said: "When I return will I find faith on the earth?" 

Faith produces fruit in keeping with repentance, good fruit, God honoring fruit, sinner convincing fruit. Scripture is the Word of God to "show us the way" and quell all our fears, meeting all our needs.  

Everyone who "calls on the name of the Lord" not only shall be saved but with seeking, "filled with the Holy Spirit" to "Glorify our Father in Heaven" according to their faith. 

I feel it's more important to read Scripture and believe them than to read and understand them in that order. Understanding will come "in God's time and in accordance with His will." Believing will open the doors of heaven to pour out a blessing that you will hardly be able to take in and empower the believer to be effective in the kingdom of God.
