Where Is Your Bible?


Jeremiah 33-36

Where is your Bible?  Pick it up and feel it.  Doesn’t it make you feel something inside?  Can you sense Eden and Noah?  Can you feel the warmth of the Psalms and sorrow of the Temple’s destruction?  Does not the love of God flow through the weight of it and knowledge of Absolute Truth cause you to feel your own heart?  The Bible is one of the most powerful living forces for Good in this universe.  But as with forces of Good there are also forces of evil that stalk the ages seeking to destroy all that is Good.  Such is revealed in today’s readings as Jehoiakim, the king of Judah, burned the scroll God had dictated to Jeremiah.  You know what happened?  God just dictated another one.

The grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of our God stands forever.”… Isaiah 40:8
“Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words shall not pass away.”  Jesus, Matthew 24:35

Every Bible in your home and on this earth is stained with the toil of the ages and soaked in the blood of saints who died preserving it for us.  No force will ever destroy it.  Not the warming fire in a king’s palace nor the combined power of the entire universe. 

Now that’s Living!!!
