-INITIAL POINT
-Psalm 119:97-104
It is written,"Man
shall not live by
bread alone, but
by every word that
proceeds from the
mouth of God."
--Matthew 4:4
We may read many books, but the Word of God is our "initial point," the fixed reference point. John Wesley read widely, but he always referred to himself as "a man of one book."
Nothing can compare to the Book of books, the Word of God. When we allow the Bible to be our guide in all of life, we can say with the psalmist,
"How sweet are Your words to my taste, sweeter than honey to my mouth!" (Ps. 119:103).'Dear Lord, we are grateful for Your Book. In it
we learn of You and find guidance and direction
for our lives. Help us to learn to love Your Word
and to eagerly dig into its pages. Amen'
