I have hidden your word in my heart; that I
might not sin against you. Psalm 119:11
Hi Everyone!
The year was 1963; I was four years old. This is the earliest
year that I can remember pieces of my life. I was in the
basement of the church I went to, all through my child-
hood. I heard two Bible Stories that day. The first story
was about Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, in the
Book of Daniel. The three young men refused to worship
a gold statue. King Nebuchnezzar threw them into the
furnace, but God protected them.
The second story was of Daniel, who refused to obey the
new law against prayer. Every day, morning,noon, and
evening, Daniel would go to his room to the window that
faced toward Jerusalem, and pray to the one true God.
Daniel was thrown into the lion’s den, but God protected
him.
Two stories, four young men, a bad king, and a God who
is unstoppable! That day I gave my life to God, Jesus,
and the Holy Spirit, Three in One.
Now the year is 1994, I am married, we are both out of the
USAF, and my two sons are playing outside. I am on the
couch reading, a book on prayer. Within my soul I hear
“My children spend a lot of time reading books on christian
living, and not enough time in My Word.” That was it.
I knew the Lord was talking about me. I put my collection
of books aside and I started focusing more on God’s
Holy Word. I also felt lead to treasure God’s Word. I
no longer piled other things on my Bibles. In other words,
I started treating God’s Word as a new found treasure.
Something to respect, to honor, to love and care for it
deeply. Not just for a short time, but for the rest of my life.
Every time I found myself putting the Bible down, I felt a
reminder in my head, not to put anything on top of it. So
I didn’t.
Once, I was reminded of a passage of scripture….
In Matthew Chapter 25 is the Parable of the Talents.
Skipping to the verse that talks about the servant who was
given two talents. ( I am paraphrasing) He traded them in,
and made two more talents.
When his master came back from traveling, the servant
said; “You gave me two talents, and I made you two more.”
The master said, “Well done, good and faithful servant. You
were faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over
many things. Enter into the joy of the Lord.”
The message for me was, this may seem like a little thing,
but remain faithful, and someday you will see the signif-
icance behind this that you have been asked to do.
I have already seen one blessing from this, my grown
daughter does the same thing in her own home. HOW
AWESOME IS THAT?
So three things I would like us to remember……..
Number One: The Holy Bible is the most important book
for a believer to read.
Number Two: Love, Treasure, and Respect God’s Holy Word.
Number Three: Whatever God gives us to do, remain Faith-
ful and True, in doing it.
Thank you Lord, for saving my soul. Thank you Lord, for
making me whole. Thank you Lord for giving to me,
Thy great salvation so rich and free. Amen. (An old
Sunday School Chorus).
Have a great month!
