THE B-I-B-L-E   PART 2

Scripture:   2 Timothy 3:16 “All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:”

   The B-I-B-L-E, yes that’s the book for me.  I want to continue this thought today as we look at some things we need to do with this precious Book.  First, I think it goes without saying that we need to read it. This should be done daily.  
    Several reasons why we read the Bible.  Number one, we read the Bible to learn.  We have a desire to learn more about the Lord.  About where He came from, what He’s done and where we’re going when we leave this life.  
    Secondly, we read it because we love it.  The stories in the Bible have a special place in our hearts.  We know the Author of this Book and His is our Lord, our Savior and our Friend.  Oh how I love the Word of God.  
    Then thirdly, we read it to learn how He wants us to live.  Have you read the Bible lately?  How long has it been since you enjoyed reading the Word of God?
    Another thing we need to do with this precious book is to study it.  We study it to show ourselves approved unto God. We study it because we are His workmen and we’re not ashamed.  We study if because the more we study, the better equipped we will be to “rightly divide the Word of God”.  Allow some time to study this precious book.  
    Then we need to meditate on the Bible.  Think about what He has said.  Believe what He has said and then heed what He has said.       
    Then last of all, the Bible is to be proclaimed.  We need to tell others what the Word of God says.  Share it wherever we go.   What a precious Book God has given to us!  
    “I love the old Bible, The precious old Bible. A light on my pathway to shine. It keeps me so happy, always so happy. God’s Wonderful Book Divine!”
