The Forgotten Book


 


Read: Psalm 119:89-104


 

 

I will never forget your precepts, for by them you have given me life.-
Psalm 119:93

 

 

A young boy he noticed a large black book all covered with dust lying on a
high shelf.  His curiosity was aroused, so he asked his mother about it.
Embarrassed, she hastily explained, "That's the Bible.  It's God's book."
The boy thought for a moment and then said, "Well, if that's God's book, why
don't we give it back to Him?  Nobody around here uses it anyway."

 

In many homes, the Bible is hardly used or even thought about.  The only
time anyone picks it up to read it is when there's trouble, sickness, or a
death in the family.  And even then, the person may not know where to look
for the help that's needed.

 

How long has it been since you've picked up your Bible and studied it for
your own enjoyment, edification, and spiritual growth?  Yes it's God's
book-but he doesn't want it back.  He wants you to keep it, to ponder, to
understand it, to believe it, and to obey its message.  That's the primary
reason for these devotionals.  Each devotional article is intended to help
you understand the Word.  Did you read today's scripture passage?  If not,
why not do so right now?  Don't let the Bible become the forgotten book in
your home.

 

O let me love my Bible more

And take a fresh delight

By day to read these wonders o'er

And meditate by night.-Watts

 

 

Thought for today: The more you read the Bible, a more you'll love its
author.
