For some their Bible sits,
on their coffee table
they only reach for it . . .
when their TV loses its cable.
Others keep it on a shelf,
where it gathers a lot of dust
they only pick it up . . .
if they feel that they must.
Some carry it with them,
when they go to church
they only open it up . . .
when a verse they’re to search.
But, then there are the ones,
who read their Bible every day
they know they need to study it
and apply the truth to their way!
~~~~~~~~~
John 14:6
King James Version
“Jesus saith unto him,
I am the way,
the truth, and the life:
no man cometh unto the Father,
but by me.”

COMPUTER
I have a computer
I’m on it, when I can
Learning all about it’s ways
I am it’s greatest fan
It has got a manual
An interesting read
Meditating on it’s words
To serve it’s every need.
I have got a Saviour
Jesus, He’s The Man
Talking with Him, now and then
He fits in when He can
He has got a manual
A great big dusty book
It sits upon the bookshelf
I seldom take a look.

I used to collect Bibles, had them neatly arranged on my shelf–like decoration. Now, I currently have 6 different ones and my concordance/dictionary in a “pile” beside me–always within reach, daily read! God bless you BIG–love, sis Caddo

Great post. The more we ignore our bibles, the less our lives are pervaded with the Word and we attempt to rely on our own wisdom and our own strength to sustain us.

This poem right here is so true! We were discussing this on Sunday at church. Some of our Bibles need to be dusted off. 🙂
