Being overtaken
Jeff Weddle makes a good point about the real benefit of reading the Bible:
Thinking that having a few verses rolling around in your head is going to protect you from sin is not the idea. Mentally rubbing a few verses like a lucky rabbit’s foot probably won’t carry you through.Yes. Sin problems are really faith problems; when we sin, we're putting our unbelief into practice. So how do we build faith? Again, the answer is in Romans 10.
Having God’s word overtake your heart, to live by faith, by hearing God’s word, is what allows us to overcome the world.

faith is necessary, God has shown us that it is necessary to make a choice and thus have faith. the Love of God and the need for faith is still a mystery to us. but, it seems to be a necessary thing for God to do things this way. not to just take us all and save every single person from the whole mess. there is a need for humans to have faith and trust in God and His ways.
it is hard when we come up against the things that we do not understand. but, there is always something in my life that shows me how much i need God. that i am totally alone and lost without looking to Jesus. it is like a part of me knows something that the rest of me is not getting, so i listen and wait.
Sounds right
