I had a stack of things to do that morning as I stopped in on the Bible Quizzing tournament to watch my daughter. I’d sit in the back and tackle my “To Do” list as I kept one eye on the tournament. But things did not turn out like I planned, for they were short one judge. Reluctantly, I agreed to help.
For the next 3 ½ hours I listened as young people quoted the Word. Their many hours of study paid off as they recalled verse after verse.
I was astounded at how quickly the time passed and I rejoiced with the winners—two young boys whose family is not in the church. They were so quick and so confident with their answers and they came out on top!
Later, as I went over the events of the day I thanked the Lord for giving me several hours to hear and enjoy the Word of God.
How blessed we are to have something so precious in our hands as the Word of God.
Cherish it. Don’t take it for granted. Read it every day before you pick up anything else to read. Within the pages you will find the answer to every question you will ever have. Hide it in your heart…and you will not stray away from God.
“Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.” Ps. 119:11
