Message from Scripture: 9/29/2021

 

Our message from Scripture today comes from Psa. 119:72; “The law of Your mouth is better to me than thousands of gold and silver pieces.”

 

The story is told of a young lady who was given a book to read. She tried reading it and found it to be quite dull and boring. Later, she fell in love with a young man who was a writer. In a conversation with him, she found out that he was the author of that book. She could then hardly wait to read it again. This time she found it to be a very interesting and fascinating book. What was the difference? She knew and loved the author.

 

Some think the Bible is dull and dry. But if they would read it with the idea in mind that here is a book written by their God and Creator, they would find it to be a challenging message. They need to come to love God. When they do, they will find His book to be both interesting and meaningful.

 

How can we not be interested in reading, and re-reading time and again, its inspired pages?  We can succumb to the deception of Satan, that it’s dull and dry, that it’s too old to have any significance in such times as ours, and that we don’t really need to know it to please God anyway. Nothing is further from the truth. It’s a message you can never outgrow, that addresses any issue we will face, and keeps our perspective filled with hope, no matter what. How can we not want to know what God, who truly loves us, has to say to us, the advice He offers us, His true commandments for life?

 

Today, let’s spend time in the word of God, so that we might please by our lifestyle our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. It will make an eternal difference in us, and quite possibly, those who observe how we live. God bless.
