Prov. 4:13, "Hold on to instruction, do not let
it go; guard it well, for it is
your life."
The Bible is
one of the most precious gifts God has given us. It tells us who God is, who we are and, above all, how
we may be saved from our sins and brought
into His family as His beloved people. Without the Bible we would never know any of this and would be groping
in the darkness. Many tribes in the
world today still do not have the Scriptures in their own language. There are tribes in Kenya today who
have never seen a Bible and could not read
it even if they had it in their own language. And yet in the Bible we
are shown the way of eternal life.
are shown the way of eternal life.
Let us resolve
today to hold on to the instruction we have received from God's precious word and to live by it, "for
it is your life." Let us also pray for
those engaged in the precious ministry of translating God's word so that those who are still living in darkness and
ignorance may see the light of God's
salvation in Christ and seek to follow Him.
