Old over New.

Psalms 33:10, 34:18,19,24:
"The Lord foils the plans of the nations; he thwarts the purposes of hte peoples. But the plans of hte Lord stand firm forever, the purposes of his heart through all generations. The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. A righteous many may have many troubles, but the Lord delivers him from them all. The Lord redeems his servants; no one will be condemned who takes refuge in him."

These verses are like a salve to my soul. They give me hope and peace. I forgot how much I could continue to learn about God and his love for me, from reading his word. I always had a bible in my home, but when I'd see, it I would put it out of my mind. It made me feel guilty, but I didn't want to reread things I have already read (mainly the new testament). And quite frankly, I never thought there was anything worth while in the old. I am now finding out how wrong I was. Between Isaiah and Psalms, I have read a lot of passages that have taught me more than the new testament alone. I am not saying that hte new is not important, because that is where Jesus saved us all, but I am finding that the old has a lot of meaning for me right now. But who knows, when I reread scriptures from the New, I am sure I will find more too. I love the bible, because it is ever changing. I can reread verses and still pull more out of them or see their different meanings. Thank you God, for leaving your word behind for us to read and fill our spirits. Amen.
