Unlocking the Power of God’s Word
The Bible is often referred to as the ultimate guide to living a fulfilling life. As Psalm 19:7-8 states, “God’s laws are perfect. They protect us, make us wise, and give us joy and light.” This sentiment is echoed by Professor William Lyon Phelps, a renowned scholar from Yale University, who believes that having a knowledge of the Bible is more valuable than a college education without it.
The Four-Fold Blessing of God’s Word
So, what makes God’s Word so special? Our verse provides the answer. It (1) protects us from harm, (2) grants us wisdom, (3) brings us joy, and (4) illuminates our path. These benefits are just the tip of the iceberg, and neglecting to read the Bible means we’re missing out on untold blessings.
