I liked the thoughts in Dr. David Jeremiah's daily devotional today. I share it here with you:
The judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether. More to
be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold. (Psalm 19:9-10)
In 1944, newspaper editor T. Harry Wilson bequeathed a special book to the Greater Victoria Library in British Columbia. It was a rare first-edition copy of the King James Bible, one of only 50 known copies in existence. It was displayed in 1979, then stored away in the vault and forgotten. Now the library has rediscovered the book and sent it to Sotheby's auction house in New York where it's expected to raise about a half-million dollars.
The Bible is your most valuable possession, more precious than gold, and sweeter than honey. How easily it can be forgotten, but how valuable when rediscovered!
"I want to know one thing," said John Wesley, "- the way to heaven: how to land safe on that happy shore. God himself has condescended to teach the way. He hath written it down in a book. O give me that book! At any price, give me the book of God! I have it: here is knowledge enough for me. Let me be a man of one book."
Have you neglected your Bible? Isn't it time you rediscovered it?
The Holy Scripture is of much greater benefit to us than day or night, than the air we breath, or the light of the sun. (Matthew Henry)
