Storybook Life

Some of the greatest books ever to be written have been autobiographical/ biographical books. The Diary of Anne Frank, The Autobiography of Martin Luther King Jr., Grace Abound to the Chief of Sinners by John Bunyan just to name a few. Autobiographical books are books written about the life of a person by that person and biographical books are books written about a person’s life from another person’s account. Each and every person’s life is an autobiography/biography waiting to be told but only you can determine how the story will unfold.
The Holy Bible is filled with autobiographical/biographical accounts of the lives of people who trusted in God. We read of Adam and Eve who experienced problems in the Garden of Eden and of Abraham who survived a flood by building an ark. We read of Moses and the nation of Israel crossing the Red Sea and of Abraham and Sarah conceiving a child well past there 80’s in age. We read of Jonah being swallowed alive by a great fish and Samson telling his secret about the strength that comes from not cutting his hair. We read about David and his battle with Goliath or how Judas Iscariot betrayed Christ while Peter, James, and John slept. We tend to forget that each and every person in the Bible was ordinary people like you and I but the accounts of their life were recorded for the whole world to read. Their mistakes were recorded as we see the folly of David and Bathsheba and the triumphs were recorded as we read about Joseph overcoming adversity to be a high rank official in the nation of Egypt.
The Bible tells us that our lives are written and recorded in a book (Revelation 20:12). The good we have done in our life as well as the bad is all recorded. Not a person standing among us that would want a story written about their life that is a tragedy. We all would like a great story of triumph and victory and the solution is to live your life according to the story you want left behind. We tend to look at the stories in the Bible as exceptions but these stories are about ordinary people who did extraordinary things. Peter was a fisherman an ordinary fisherman but he walked on water how? The answer is he submitted his life to Jesus Christ and it was the power of God that allowed him to do such an extraordinary thing at the appointed time. We all will have extraordinary moments in our life there is a place and time appointed for such events to happen. Peter was just as normal as us people tend to elevate individuals found in the Bible as if they were more than human. The Holy Spirit is more than human and that’s where the power comes from and the Holy Spirit lives in every believer. It is time for your life to be written and your story to be told. Submit unto Jesus Christ and present your body as a living sacrifice and I promise a great story will be told of you one day. The key to it all is waiting on the Holy Spirit and living your life one sentence at a time.-Amen
But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”-Acts 1:8
