Admit it or not

 Admit it or not

Isaiah the prophet stated,

“A voice says, “Cry out.” And I said, “What shall I cry?” 

“All men are like grass, and all their glory is like the flowers of the field. 

The grass withers and the flowers fall, because the breath of the LORD blows on them. Surely the people are grass. 

The grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of our God stands forever.”  Isaiah 40:6-8

An anonymous author wrote,

Last eve I passed beside a blacksmith’s door,

And heard the anvil ring the vesper chime;

Then, looking in, I saw upon the floor

Old hammers, worn with beating years of time.


“How many anvils have you had,” said I,

“To wear and bater all these hammers so?”

“Just one,” said he, and then, with twinkling eye,

The anvil wears the hammers out, you know.”


And so, thought I, the anvil of God’s Word,

For ages skeptic blows have beat upon;

Yet, though the noise of falling blows was heard,

The anvil is unharmed - and hammers gone.

For centuries those who oppose God. Those who say God dose not exist have said the Bible message will ultimately fade away. Yet it has not. In fact those who believe in the Bible. Those who believe in Christ Jesus, are growing in number.

At the very beginning of the Christian movement two of Jesus’ disciples were on trial for preaching in his name when a Pharisee named Gamaliel stood up and said,

“But if it is from God, you will not be able to stop these men; you will only find yourselves fighting against God." Acts 5:39.

I truly believe Gamaliel was right. Jesus and all he taught is of God as is the Bible. And those who are fighting against it are fighting God. Whether they want to admit it or not.

Please think about it.
