Me:  Reading the bible?

Prodigal:  Yes, there is just something about God’s word.

Me:  I agree

 

This is from the book Sunrays of Help by Dr. Albert Garner

 

This Book contains

the mind of God,

the way of salvation,

the doom of sinners,

and the happiness of believers.

 

Its doctrine is holy,

its precepts are binding,

its histories are true,

and its decisions immutable.

 

Read it to be wise,

believe it to be safe,

practice it to be holy.

 

It contains light to direct you,

food to support you,

and comfort to cheer you.

 

It is the traveler’s map,

the pilgrim’s staff,

the pilot’s compass,

the soldier’s sword

and the Christian’s character.

 

Here heaven is opened, the gates of hell disclosed.

Christ is its subject,

our good its design,

the glory of God its end.

 

It should fill the memory,

rule the heart

and guide the feet.

 

Read it slowly,

frequently, prayerfully.

It is mine of wealth,

and a river of pleasure.

 

It is given to you here in this life,

will be opened at the judgement and

is established forever.

 

It involves the highest responsibility,

will reward the greatest labor,

and condemns all who trifle with its sacred contents.

 

That the communication of thy faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus.

Philemon 1:6
