I wonder, how important is our personal Bible to each of us? I anticipate that we would not hesitate to attach a great measure of importance to the personal edition of the Bible that we study from time to time. I am reminded of an email that I read several years ago that commented as follows.
Ever wonder what would happen if we treated our Bible like we treat our cell phone? What if we carried it around in our purses or pockets? What if we flipped through it several times a day? What if we turned back to get it if we forgot it? What if we used it to receive messages from the text? What if we treated it like we couldn’t live without it? What if we gave it to kids as gifts? What if we used it when we traveled? What if we used it in case of emergency? That is something to make you go, hmm, where is my Bible? Oh, and one more thing, unlike our cell phones, we don’t have to worry about our Bible being disconnected because Jesus already paid the bill.
Makes you stop and think, “Where are my priorities?” No dropped calls either! When Jesus died on the Cross, He was thinking of you! Though I do not know the identity of the author of the observations, he has given us something to ponder and apply.
