Can
you answer my next question? What lone book has succeeded over the next
generation? Stories passed on and treasured until now? Inspired countless people, changed lives, has
all the ingredients you want in a story to make you want to read more
(adventure, drama, love story, action etc.). A guidebook for the do’s and don’t
in this life and for sure you’ll live a life that’s A ok! So you see it is not
an ordinary book.
Ready
for the answer?, The answer is ------ the BIBLE! Yes, you are correct if the
BIBLE is the book that you have in mind then you’re on the right track!
Isn’t
it great, the one book that has everything for you. Just like the tagline of a
famous shopping mall here, this book’s got it all for you! It is truly a
wonderful book, from our Almighty Father, He is truly amazing and so is His
book! A book that is inspired by Him. The bible is GOD’s love letter to us. We
have the bible to remind us of GOD’s great love for us. It is our map here on
earth. We should know the bible by heart so that we will never lose our way to
our Almighty Father. Like what I’ve mentioned before it is our handbook and
guide book for living an effective life here on earth. We have a lot of popular
contemporary books now, a lot of “how to’s and books for the dummies.” We
should not look elsewhere, for most people have overlooked and tried reading
other self-help books, when they’re not aware that the book that they should
learn and read by heart is just around their house. I remember, one fellow
believer told us that you’ll know the owner of a bible if he/she’s truly
reading it. The more worn-out your bible is the better! I really felt ashamed
before because it was just recently when I started reading the bible. In our
bible study in the office, I really felt like an ‘alien’ before because most of
my Christian officemates are all well-versed and knowledgeable with the bible.
I really have no idea about the other old testament books, the most familiar
with me are Genesis and Exodus and that’s it! With regards to the New
Testament, I am very familiar with the 4 gospels since, it is very a familiar
reading in Catholic mass. So don’t let what happened to me happen to you. Don’t
just display the bible, read it for yourself and share the good news with you
loved ones!
It’s
never too late for you to start reading the bible. Remember, it’s better late
than never! Also, I will never forget this saying, that “Ignorance of the
bible, is ignorance of Christ Jesus.” It’s true, isn’t it? For how can you say
you are a follower of Christ if you don’t know His words. Like our body needs
food, so is our spirit – the word of GOD is its food.

Thy word is a lamp unto my feet
And a light unto my path
Thy word is a lamp unto my feet
And a light unto my path
When I feel afraid
And think I've lost my way
Still, You're there right beside me
Nothing will I fear
As long as You are near
Please be near me to the end
Thy word is a lamp unto my feet
And a light unto my path
Thy word is a lamp unto my feet
And a light unto my path
I will not forget
Your love for me and yet
My heart forever is wandering
Jesus be my guide
And hold me to Your side
And I will love You to the end
To the end
Thy word is a lamp unto my feet
And a light unto my path
You're the light unto my path
