When we look throughout history, it is always interesting to see how much people gave up to be able to read the Bible. Several times the Bible was banned, suppressed, and destroyed. However, the Lord of all things is surely powerful enough to keep His book together. Since God has kept this book together for such a long time, obviously there is information of the utmost importance within it. Sometimes we can forget how important the Bible can really be. A poem written by Emilie Lenhart Robertson seems to describe this very well.
I've been sitting here thinking
Of my life up to now
The many roads I've traveled
As I was searching how
I could make it into heaven
And really what it took
And it came to me quite suddenly
The way is in THE BOOK.
Of my life up to now
The many roads I've traveled
As I was searching how
I could make it into heaven
And really what it took
And it came to me quite suddenly
The way is in THE BOOK.
Yes, I've stumbled quite a lot
As I've wandered through this life
There were times I didn't care
If what I did was wrong or right
Somehow God was patient
Each time His plan I forsook
And I didn't pay attention
To what was written in THE BOOK.
Now I thank God for His mercy,
For watching over me each day
For sending His son, Jesus
To show us all the way.
I thank Him most of all, though
For causing me to look
For I always knew the answer
Would be written in THE BOOK.
What a tremendous blessing it is to have access to the greatest book ever written without the fear of persecution. Let us never forget the wonderful answers and information it contains and always look to God's Word.
