An Admission Of The Fisherman

...as also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things, in which are some things hard to understand, which untaught and unstable people twist to their own destruction, as they do also the rest of the Scriptures. 2 Peter 3:16

Have you ever come to a place in the Bible where, oh... to put it bluntly, ya just felt kinda stupid? If not, then you should read a bit more of God's word! Even that fisherman selected among the first of our Lord's disciples had to admit that Paul's epistles had some tough parts. There seem to be a myriad of prophecies that we don't get even in this age of knowledge. Solomon collected and wrote proverbs that may seem backwards and upside down to us. While the good news of our Lord's salvation was meant for the simple, the entire Bible presents a bounty of intellectual challenges for the sharpest minds. Why is there so much difficulty? I think for the simple reason of asking, as in come to the Lord in prayer and ask for understanding!

It is our great privilege to come to the Lord in prayer.
