I appreciate...Thanks again for the comment, Naveen. I appreciate your insight, it is very motivating. I remember when the Word of God was not what it is to me. I struggled with finding the balance in the way I viewed it, going from being intimidated by it, to viewing it as a mere rule book, to questioning its credibility, to finally recognising that the Word of God is a part of His plan and God gave is the blueprint to test every spirit and truth against His Truth. The blueprint itself is not the house, as God's Word in not God Himself, but without the blueprint it's impossible to construct the proper ways of thinking, we cannot expect to have a full understanding of His design and His plan without the foundations of His Word. I believe God has so much more to say, but He will never go against His Word. This is why I believe He gave us the starting point go reference for what He wants to build upon, unlocking more of the hidden truths by the power of the Holy Spirit, It is not possible, and may I say dangerous, to rely on our own understanding when we interpret Scripture. I also believe that the way He wrote it and the reason why we have the final selection of the books compiled in the Bible is because He has His hand on it and He is the one overseeing and protecting His Word to make sure that we get the essence of what He desires for us to build our knowledge and understanding upon.

That gave me a better understanding of the depths that Jesus goes through to create a road map for us.<br /><br />Sometimes we as people play pretend, and justify directions we wish to impose in ourselves and try to use the thought of "ignorance being bliss", however most of the time we are not IGNORANT but FOOLING OURSELVES INTENTIONALLY. The fact that we indeed as believers acknowledge the Holy Spirit within us, that His Word dwells within us and IS "...SHARPER THAN ANY TWO EDGED SWORD, PIERCING EVEN TO THE DIVISION OF SOUL AND SPIRIT, AND OF JOINT AND MARROW, AND IS A DISCERNER OF THE THOUGHTS AND INTENTS OF THE HEART..." would mean that we believe God has a perfect plan/map already set for our lives. And we as Christians know this, and we know how to understand more into this even if we are genuinely confused. It is the fight that we deny the FLESH and LISTEN to the Spirit of God that strives to develop us fully and without confusion.
