“All Scripture is God breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.” II Timothy 3: 16-17
If I would listen to the voice of the Spirit, I should “put my ear” next to God-breathed Scripture. Where better today to go to read and hear my Shepherd’s voice than perhaps our digitally written or recorded tablets and phones?
However, for we old-school enthusiasts, a woman in our church self-consciously admitted that before going to sleep each night, she reads her Bible and then hugs it as she falls asleep. “Is that weird?” she asked.
It’s unusual but not weird. Any father would be moved to hear that his daughter falls asleep with his written words held close to her heart, or now, even digitally playing. Surely the Father God treasures such an act of childlike love.
“The vigor of our spiritual life will be in exact proportion to the place held by the Bible in our life and thoughts.” George Muller
