Here's a page in your Bible I bet you've never read.
It's the Table of Contents. It's a list of all the books in the Bible, 66 of them, there to direct our lives from early on until our dying breath.
Paul wrote, "Whatever was written in earlier times was written for our learning, that we, through patience and comfort from the Scriptures, might have hope." And there they are -- 66 books to give us hope. Paul also wrote that the word of God is alive and active and sharper than a two-edged sword. It is a discerner of what is in our heart. No other book can do that. No other book can show us the true condition of our souls. Furthermore, all 66 books of Scripture are inspired by God. They are God's words to us, written by people who sat and listened to his voice and then faithfully wrote his words, in order that those words might guide us in our lives as we live out the truth of God's word.
I couldn't make it through a single day without this book.
A man or woman is prepared in advance, sanctified not only against tomorrow but fortified for today, if first he or she has a season with the word and prayer. Friend, begin your day with God. Bring your day under the scrutiny of his all-seeing eye. Many blunders that we commit in life would never have been made had we prayed as much in advance as we pined after the damage was done.
Jesus said, "My sheep hear my voice" (John 10:27). Are we listening?
