I don't know about you, but this journey, although slower for me, has been more difficult. I have found it more of a challenge just to be still! It's time to pull off to a Rest Area and enjoy the scenery for a moment. May you be encouraged!

Why Route 66?
God's Word contains 66 wonderful books that are meant to help us know God and His ways. Traveling the historic Route 66 in the USA is an enjoyable trip, so too, is traveling through God's Word. It is the ancient road that is full of places worth visiting, even camping out for a while, in order to know the God who established His Word for our instruction and growth in godliness.

Metro Life Church's Statement of Faith Concerning The Scriptures
The Scriptures
We accept the Bible, including the 39 books of the Old Testament and the 27 books of the New Testament, as the written Word of God. The Bible is the only essential and infallible record of God's self-disclosure. It leads us to salvation through faith in Jesus Christ. Being given by God the Scriptures are both fully and verbally inspired by God. Therefore, as originally given, the Bible is free of error in all it teaches. Each book is to be interpreted according to its context and purpose and in reverent obedience to the Lord who speaks through it in living power. All believers are exhorted to study the Scriptures and diligently apply them to their lives. The Scriptures are the authoritative and normative rule and guide of all Christian life, practice, and doctrine. They are totally sufficient and must not be added to, superseded, or changed by later tradition, extra-biblical revelation, or worldly wisdom. Every doctrinal formulation, whether of creed, confession, or theology must be put to the test of the full counsel of God in Holy Scripture

The Scriptures are sufficient
(Thomas Brooks, "A Word in Season to Suffering Saints")
"All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching,
rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness--so
that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for
every good work." 2 Timothy 3:16-17
The Scriptures are sufficient . . .
to inform the ignorant,
to confute the erroneous,
to reform the wicked, and
to guide and direct, support and comfort--the godly.
Here a lamb may wade--and here an elephant may swim!
Here is milk for babes--and meat for strong men!
Here is . . .
comfort for the afflicted, and
support for the tempted, and
ease for the troubled, and
light for the clouded, and
enlargement for the straitened, etc.
Oh,
how full of light,
how full of life,
how full of love,
how full of sweetness,
how full of goodness,
how full of righteousness,
how full of holiness, etc.,
is every chapter, and every verse in every
chapter, yes, and every line in every verse!
No human writings are comparable to Scripture:
1. for antiquity;
2. for rarity;
3. for variety;
4. for brevity;
5. for plainness;
6. for harmony;
7. for verity.
All which should greatly encourage Christians, to a
serious perusal of them. "Oh, how I love your law!
I meditate on it all day long!" Psalm 119:97

That is an area that I have a hard time with - just being still before God. Thank you for sharing that.

Hi Debi,
Thank you for the gift.
It was so timely. I am still on R66. Yet in the last few days, I noticed it wasn't seeping into my soul. My eyes passed over the words but my soul didn't take anything in to meditate on later. It was more out of duty instead of love. Now I see I too needed a rest stop but I just didn't realize it. Thank you for being so attuned to the Holy Spirit and so faithful to pass along His wisdom.
I feel refreshed.
With much appreciation,
Debbie Widener
Thank you for this timely reminder of my need to be still and to allow Him to refresh my heart with His presence.
