A Book Unlike Any Other

"For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is God's power for salvation to everyone who believes"  -- Romans 1:16 / HCSB

God's Word is unlike any other book.  A.W. Tozer wrote, "The purpose of the Bible is to bring men to Christ, to make them holy and prepare them for Heaven.  In this it is unique among books, and it always fulfills its purpose."  George Mueller observed, "The vigor of our spiritual lives will be in exact proportions to the place held by the Bible in our lives and in our thoughts."  As Christians, we are called upon to study God's Holy Word and then to share it with the world.

The Bible is a priceless gift, a tool for Christians to use as they share the Good News of their Savior, Christ Jesus.  Too many, however, keep their spiritual tool kits tightly closed and out of sight.  Jonathan Edwards advised, "Be assiduous in reading the Holy Scriptures.  This is the fountain whence all knowledge in divinity must be derived.  Therefore let not this treasure lie by your neglected."  God's Holy Word is, indeed, a priceless, one-of-a-kind treasure.  Handle it with care, but, more importantly, handle it every day.

Lord, the Bible is Your gift to us.  Let us use it, let us trust it, and let us obey it, today and every day that we live.
