When God authors something, it is engraved in stone, so to speak. What He writes down remains and brings profit to those who read and hear His words. He, therefore, had His prophets, who were inspired by His Holy Spirit, to inscribe what He wanted His people to know. Many of their descriptions and poetry told of events prior to them taking place; they often wrote of the future. They had the privilege to make God's thoughts known to mankind. The Almighty made Himself manifest through their written words and He gave you illumination into His character and nature.

As a father teaches his children, so your Heavenly Father teaches you. He longs to communicate with you and to make His instructions clear. He knew that once you heard and understood His words, that you would never hesitate to come to Him. As you learned and understood, you began to grow.
Therefore, take every opportunity to enter into the Lord's presence. Draw close to the Lord's side, for there you will find all that you will ever need.
