It has always amazed me as to how some lyrics out of the sixties and seventies line up with what the Scriptures teach. Like that line out of Paul Simon’s “The Boxer.” It states this, “Man hears what he wants to hear and disregards the rest.” That has been true since Adam and Eve tramped around in the garden. Most regard the Bible like it was a salad bar. Just pick out what you like and leave the rest.
But listen to what the Book of books has to say about the matter:
So shall my word be that goes out from my mouth; it shall not return to me empty, but it shall accomplish that which I purpose, and shall succeed in the thing for which I sent it.
But he answered, “It is written, “‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.’”
Give it some serious thought today.
