Good Morning,
I am at my desk and the sun is coming up. It looks to be a very nice day. I think I will have another cup of Door County Bourbon Vanilla Creme Coffee and then I will write.
In my den are many books that have been read for sheer entertainment , knowledge , and spiritual growth. There are a few there to improve my hunting knowledge and to make me laugh. I enjoy reding a funny book now and then.
I have many books written to improve my Christin walk or to help others. There are books on prayer, grieving, forgiving, and living a walk worthy of a Christian. They are all good books and I spend a little more time in the winter reading than I do in the summer months. It seems that cold weather, fireplaces and a book just go together.
But in all those books on "The Christian Walk" There is nothing like reading the BOOK.
The Bible is God's inspired word on paper.
2 Timothy 3:16-17 All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.
Another passage that makes it simple for me to know what God desires from us is found in the Old Testament.
Micah 6:8 He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you?To act justly and to love mercy,and to walk humbly with your God.
Food for thought. What really matters is not the size of the library, but what matters is one book and one book only. The rest are just there to decorate a book case.
Food for thought!
Marty
