"Holy words long preserved
For our walk in this world
They resound with God's own heart
Oh, let the ancient words impart"
Our fast-paced, digitised world draws our attention quickly from one thing to the next. Brightly coloured videos flash across our screens, there one moment and gone the next. Scroll, tap, swipe. A seemingly endless supply of content keeps us returning to our backlit devices hour after hour,, day after day, week after week. It's easy to forget that book on the shelf and let the dust settle on it. And then we go about our life, agreeing we're Christian if anyone asks, but finding we don't know a whole lot about our God. Sometimes we wonder how our faith connects to our life. All the while, the book with the answers remains forgotten on the shelf.
Preserved down through the ages, the Bible reveals our God to us. His character, will, and plan are communicated through His Holy Word. This inspired book can answer so many of our questions about how we should live, if we take the time to read it. Do you treasure your Bible as a revelation from your Saviour? Do you make time to read and study and think about it regularly? When was the last time you took it off the shelf and opened it?
