Any day of any week. Any place at any time. I can read it, memorize it, study it and question it. The Bible. God shares his thoughts with us. God communicates his story, his history. He explains my story, my history. There was a time when his words were learned because they were repeated and taught. Not everyone had a book made up of pages with gold edges. There was a time when the books did exist but they were not in a language that was understood by everyone. Today I have access to God’s Word in the language I speak! Wow! That helps me share God’s message with those wanting to hear!
This ‘invention’ is even more special because I realize that not everyone is as fortunate as me. They can’t own a Bible, they are forbidden to study it, or they don’t have this special book in their language.
God, thank you for speaking in a way that can be communicated through written words. Thank you for allowing me the privilege of possessing a copy of those words. Please let those who don’t have such a possession to one day know your written word so they can know the Living Word – Jesus. Keep safe those whose mission is to make sure that each language has your Word. I can only ask these things because of the Word who became flesh.
