"For whatever was written in earlier times was written for our instruction, so that through perseverance and the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope." -Romans 15:4 (NASB)
I am attracted to old books. Whether at a library or a used book sale, I like to pick up an old book and gently turn through the antique pages. When I look at an old science book, I am intrigued by how some of our thinking has changed over the last several decades. As humans, our incomplete understandings can be traced through the writings in our books, but there is a book that was true, is true, and will always be true...the Bible!
The Bible is not an antique. It was not written just for people long ago. The Bible is just as relevant today as when it was written. The Bible is full of God's words. It is filled with His advice and instruction for the challenges that we face in our lives each and every day. No matter the circumstance we find ourselves in, we can turn to the Bible for encouragement and for celebration! Reading the Bible is one part of a balanced spiritual diet and it is and always will be good for the soul!
Stay committed throughout your life with a daily dose of the joyful, hopeful, guiding, and loving words of God!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for all that You do in my life. Thank You for providing me with the Bible - Your Word - to guide me, give me hope, and encourage me in challenges and celebrations. Help me to keep Your Word in my heart so that I live my life for You. In Jesus' name I pray, amen.
