There are two sides to every story.
The first one to speak sounds true until you hear the other side
and they set the record straight. Proverbs 18:17 TPT
A little girl came running in from her yard and told her mother there was a bear in her yard. Her mother looked at her, then looked out the window and saw the neighbors dog. She told her to go to her room and pray and think about why she lied. Later her mother called her downstairs and asked her what the Lord said to her when she prayed. She said, He said it was alright, He thought it was a bear too at first.
I love that joke, because we can all identify with it. How many times do we put our own spin on something or choose to see things from our own perspective? We so want things to be our way, we even pull God and His word into the deception to justify ourselves. We take the Word out of context, or just pick and choose parts of scripture that fits our mindset. I had a Bible Professor who said you can prove David rode a motorcycle, because his Triumph was known throughout Jerusalem. Or that the disciples drove a Honda, because they were all in one accord. You laugh, but how often have we done things just like that.
The bottom line is God’s Word is true and 2 Timothy 3:16 reminds us that it is God breathed through His Holy Spirit. It is full of wisdom and truth. It has proven science over and over. It has proven that its principles and precepts when used bring about unbelievable results that bring blessing and favor. How much better would our world be if we all practiced what the Bible preaches.
