Believing What God Says

So, is God's Word, the Bible, believable? I think one of the hardest things to do is to believe and act on what God has said about something when the facts on the ground as we perceive them, and our feelings, indicate almost the exact opposite. But, if I can not (or will not) take God at His word, then I am forced to ask if I really have any basis for faith in the God of the Bible and in anything at all the Bible speaks to. If I am to believe that the scriptures are truly inspired by God and therefore form the basis of truth, there must be something in nature, in history and indeed in my own experiences that affirm what the Bible says. In other words, the Bible must accurately reflect things as they have been and as they are in order for us to have a firm foundation for faith to believe what will be. If the Bible accurately reflects the condition of the human heart when we face our own hearts in naked, absolute honesty; when it clearly describes our deepest inner yearnings, and if our own experiences confirm what the Bible teaches; if what the Bible describes as the plight of humanity is affirmed by thousands of years of history, then it is reasonable to believe the scriptures, especially when every other philosophy and belief system have fallen and are falling so terribly short of delivering on their promises and or have failed or are failing to present an accurate picture of the human condition. If we say we believe God and His word, if the holy scriptures actually pinpoint our own condition, then we must, at some point make a conscious decision to believe and act on the Word of God when everything around us, including friends and feelings, would appear to confirm that it makes no logical sense to have faith in, or take a stand on what the Bible says. Do you believe that the Bible is God's Word aand that it accurately describes the human condition?
