Whatever keeps me from my Bible is my enemy, however
harmless it may appear to me.
The Word of the Lord is a light
to guide you, a counsellor to counsel you, a comforter to comfort you, a staff
to support you, a sword to defend you, and a physician to cure you. The Word is
a mine to enrich you, a robe to clothe you, and a crown to crown you. - Thomas
Brooks
The branches of growing trees
not only reach higher, but their roots grow deeper. It's impossible for a strong
tree to have high branches without having deep roots. It would become top-heavy
and topple over in the wind." The same is true with Christians. It's impossible
for us to grow in the Lord without entwining our roots around His Word and
deepening our life in His commands." - Joni Eraeckson Tada
The roots of stability come from
being grounded in God's Word.
Gipsy Smith told of a man
who said he had received no inspiration from the Bible although he had “gone
through it several times.”
“Let it go through you once,” replied Smith, “then you will tell a different story!”
“Let it go through you once,” replied Smith, “then you will tell a different story!”
