Five Minute Friday— Guess
This post is part of the Five Minute Friday blog link-up. Where I join up with a community of writers and bloggers of all ages and stages who gather around a single word prompt to free-write, unscripted, unedited, for five minutes. This week’s word prompt is {GUESS}.
I have to admit this week’s word stumped me. I was really at a loss. The only thing I could come up with was to locate some common phrases with the word guess in them. Here you go.
Your Dictionary tells the definition of the word guess like this: To suppose; think. To form a judgment or estimate of (something) without actual knowledge or enough facts for certainty; conjecture; surmise—an act of predicting, estimating, or assuming.
A wild guess
(one) never would have guessed
An educated guess
Guess What!
I guess not
It’s anyone’s guess
Your guess is as good as mine
Have another guess coming
I guess so
Guess again
Keep somebody guessing
Second-guess
Take a guess
I’m delighted that we don’t have to guess about Jesus because He is the same yesterday and today, and forever (Hebrews 13:8—NIV). God is always the same, but the teachers are different. Some teachers align with God’s precepts, and others do not.
Scary thought, but this is good news. If we know that God does not change, but people do, we can do as the Hebrews writer suggests and “carefully observe the outcome of their lives.” When we read God’s word, he doesn’t make us guess. He’s got lifes instructions mapped out for us.
