It may seem like an
ancient relic today, but not too many years ago people in all strata of life
turned to the Bible for personal counsel and comfort. This ingenious book of
wisdom is the foundation upon which many people build their lives, families and
businesses.
British Prime
Minister, William Gladstone (1809-1898) wrote, "I have known 95 of the
World's greatest men in my time, & of these, 87 were followers of the
Bible."
The First American
President, George Washington (1732-1799) wrote, "It is impossible to
rightly govern the World without God & the Bible."
An unknown author
wrote, "The Bible is a treasure house, Where we can always find the things
we need from day-to-day for heart and soul and mind."
Skeptics and pagans
may consider the Bible as an obsolete relic that cannot provide the help we
need. Yet, for truth-seekers this ancient resource of wisdom will always be
needed and never become obsolete.
No matter what
technological changes and social progress occurs, this blessed book will remain
as the solid foundation and source for the right answers to the complicated
questions of our origin, our purpose, our behavior, and our ultimate
destination.
So, dust it off and
read the Bible today. It may be old, but its truth is always new and fresh. It
will never be obsolete.
Dear Father, thank
you for revealing your story through the Bible. Enable us to turn to its wisdom
everyday. I pray this in the name of Jesus. AMEN
Let the Bible guide
your life today,
