It’s been a few
years since I conceded to a new Bible so when I recently came across my old,
well worn King James Bible I had to brush it off and spend some time, as if with an old friend. It’s so hard for my old brain
to make the change to the “new” versions I now use. I think I memorized half
the Bible as a youth, entire books at a time!
But when they come to mind, it’s the King James Version I recall. Maybe
it’s the formality of the language that was easier to remember – not your
everyday speech.
Since it was
that holiday time of year, I opened to Luke 2 and that weird thing happened
when words jump off the page – “and it came to pass . . . “. I always in my
head thought of those five words as one word such as “then” or “next” and
breezed over them. I found this phrase 463 times in a Bible search. Unexpectedly,
those words hit me very differently today. It came – TO PASS!!!! This too shall pass! I will get through this,
it will pass away, all things will become new, nothing is forever except
eternity.
It gave me a
whole new look on life. Like Paul, I try to live for Him and know that to die
is gain. And He will be with me as these things pass by. And it came to pass .
