My Favorite Blog
I have read quite a number of blogs in the past few years; from those focused on technology issues, to "social" blogs, to food blogs, to friends' blogs, and many, many others in the ever-growing blogosphere. I think the blogs that impact me most are those that I can learn something from. It's interesting that when we read a blog, it seems as though we get to know the blogger personally in the process, though we probably do not even know him or her in real life.
At the same time, some blogs get started and quickly die off. I hope this one won't end up like that! Yet others are updated frequently but may reach a point where the blogger loses interest and it ends up like a relic from ancient Internet times. The interesting blogs tend to be those that are frequently updated, and never "finished" or "completed."
Yet my favorite Blog -- the one I read most often -- has already been finished and completed. There are no more posts to add to it. There are no posts to delete. There are no pending posts in draft mode, lingering for their time to be published. The Blogger has already written down all His posts, yet His messages are timeless.
My favorite Blog is the Bible -- God's Word. It is the Ultimate Blog.
The Bible is written by one Author, and yet it is a team blog. Its sixty-six books were written by many human authors throughout the centuries, and yet each author is fully inspired by God. Each book has different themes, yet they tell one story: God's redemption of humankind. It is the only story worth telling. It is the only story that is timeless and will never, ever be out-of-date.
The whole story can be summed up in one verse:
"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life."
- John 3:16
I am so grateful that God chose to leave a written record of His Will for us little human beings. Our sole purpose in life is to glorify God -- to love Him, to serve Him, to know Him. God, in His boundless grace, gives us His Book so that we can know Him personally and glorify Him, though we are the absolute last to deserve a relationship with Him.
Great is His love for us all.
