God's Word does provide life lessons to teach us how to live. And it gives us beautiful poetry that gives voice to our human experience. And, yes, it does give us clear boundaries of what we should and shouldn't do so we can live our best lives.

I think God gives us all that in his Word because he's a loving Father.

It was Scripture that I had hidden in my heart that quickly came to mind when my frustration felt stronger than my faith.

Judges isn't just about people who blow it over and over. It's a picture of God's love that never fails even when we do.

God is our loving Father who loves his children perfectly. So, every part of his Word is an expression of his love to us.

If you just read Leviticus on the surface, you may think it's just a bunch of grumpy irrelevant rules; but, it's actually the way God gave his people access to himself.

God does give us the history of his people.
