Pack your Bible

By the time you read this I will have been to Georgia and back, and will be packing for my next trip. So my message for this month is "It's your bible. Don't leave home without it!"
Just as I take certain medications everyday to stay healthy; reading my bible is the same sort of thing. Jesus said "Man does not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from God." Look it up in Matthew 4:4. Or you may want to start reading at chapter 3 and continue on to Jesus' early ministry.
As a small child I developed an odd habit. Whenever I was sent to my room I would read in my bible. I'm sure I was looking for some way to prove Mom was wrong and I was right.That never happened. But if I read my bible; the words somehow calmed
me down and made the situation better.
For travelling I've come up with "Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path." Psalm 119:105. Now why do you need both a lamp and a light? Well, you need to see close up so you don't stumble(that's the lamp) and far away so you keep in mind where you're going ahead of you(that's the light). Many of us are either farsighted
or nearsighted. The optomitrist corrects our eyes so we have both far and near vision.
God's word is there to correct our spiritual vision if we just read it. See you next month.
