Proverbs 2:6 (NIV)
6 For the Lord gives wisdom; from his mouth
come knowledge and understanding.
It is small wonder . . . the Bible has always been the
world’s best-seller! No other book can touch its profound wisdom, its poetic
beauty, or the accuracy of its history and prophecy. Its critics who claimed it
to be filled with forgery, fiction, and unfulfilled promises are finding that
the difficulties lie with themselves, and not the Bible. Greater and more
careful scholarship has shown that apparent contradictions were caused by
incorrect translations, rather than divine inconsistencies. It was man and not
the Bible that needed correcting. And yet—in many homes and among so-called
educated people—it has become fashionable to joke about the Bible and to regard
it more as a dust-catcher than as the living Word of God. . . . Too many
families have used the Bible as a safe storage place for old letters and
pressed flowers, and have overlooked entirely the help and assurance that God
intended this Book to give them.
Thought for today:
Do I fully understand the cost of my redemption?
