19 We also have the prophetic message as something completely reliable, and you will do well to pay attention to it, as to a light shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts. 20 Above all, you must understand that no prophecy of Scripture came about by the prophet’s own interpretation of things. 2 Peter 1:19-20
Do you find people trying to interpret things for you? When they do something like this, are you totally lost and wonder what they said and how they came about their interpretation? I often think about how people come up with their own ideas, especially those who don't follow the prompting of the Holy Spirit. The great thing about the Word of God is that most people know where it came from and believe that it really is God's guiding Word, as long as it is translated correctly. Too many people try to skew the Word to benefit them and their situation. We need to remember that God's Word is set in stone and the interpretation comes from Him as we are guided by the Holy Spirit. Don't let someone take God's Word out of context and interpret it in a way that is unholy. Be strong and courageous and let the Word speak for itself.
Have a great weekend.
