“What advantage then has the Jew, or what is the profit of circumcision? Much in every way! Chiefly because to them were committed the oracles of God.” (Romans 3:1-2)
A.W. Tozer once said, “If God gave you a watch, would you honor Him more by asking Him what time it is or by simply consulting the watch?” In the same way, God has given us the ultimate instruction manual—His Word. It’s our duty to not only read it but to live by it. Let’s remember that in some parts of the world, simply owning a Bible can lead to persecution or even death. Countless Christians have faced martyrdom for the very faith and truths that many of us take for granted.
You have been blessed with a Bible and the freedom to explore its teachings. How are you treating this precious gift? Is it collecting dust on a shelf, serving as a mere decoration, or is it a vital part of your daily life? The Bible is more than just a book; it holds the power to guide you through life’s challenges. It can strengthen your marriage, nurture your children, and even transform your life—if you take the time to read, study, and apply its teachings. Remember, it is the very Word of God.
“Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, ‘If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed. And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.’” (John 8:31-32)
I encourage you to immerse yourself in the Scriptures. Ensure that you and your family are part of a Bible-teaching church. Cultivate the habit of daily prayer and Bible reading. Lead your family in devotion and prayer. By being diligent in these practices, you’ll witness incredible changes, miracles, and blessings in your life and in the lives of your loved ones.
“There is both a blessing and a responsibility in having a Bible.”
Prayer:
Heavenly Father, thank You for the gift of Your Word. I ask for Your forgiveness if I have neglected to read and study it. Ignite a hunger in my heart for Your Scriptures. Open my mind to receive Your wisdom and empower me to act upon it. I pray this in Jesus’ name. Amen.
