Word of God Valued

Word of God Valued.  How highly do we value the Word of God? There is a man both hands in an explosion while blasting stone. His face was much torn. Although surgeons did all they could for him his eyesight was utterly destroyed. He was young in the faith; the Bible was his delight, and his distress at being no longer able to read it was great. Hearing of a lady in England who read the Braille type with her lips, some friends ordered for him parts of the Bible in the Moon-raised type, and he could hardly wait till they arrived. What a disappointment then it was to find that the explosion had destroyed the nerves of his lips, and there was no sense of touch there! He wept over the Book, stooped to kiss it farewell and happened to touch it with his tongue. His teacher was recalled, and he quickly learned to read the characters by running his tongue along them. Recently he said, ‘I have read the whole Bible through four times, and many of the books of the Bible over and over again.’ That man values and loves God’s Word.

    The Bible, like some foods and drinks, creates an appetite for itself. The more we know of its marvelous message, the more we want to know, for the sweeter does it become.

( Jer.15.16; Ps.119.97)
