Words from a favorite hymn, along with a quote:
"Nobody ever outgrows scripture; the Book widens and deepens with our years." - C.H. SpurgeonThe photo of Victoria Falls reminds me of both. The river isn’t really deep, but the drop is, and it’s beautiful.
We had a couple of meals today. Sometimes we’ll have three, sometimes two, sometimes a snack will be thrown in – but we eat every day. We don’t outgrow our need for, and our desire for, a good meal.
The scriptures fulfills similar needs and desires for God’s word.
So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. (Romans 10:17 KJV)
It also calls to me Christ’s words to Peter, over and over again in John 21:15, 16, 17 – “Feed my sheep.” OK, there was one of you who looked up the reference and realized that different words were used. For those of you who missed it, check it out.
That’s all I really hope for – that being here will spur someone to pick up a Bible and read it. I believe God is to be found in there, and His son:
Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me. (John 5:39 KJV)
The search, though it take you deep and wide, is worth the time and effort.
