A thought by David Jeremiah, from his book, Hope: Living Fearlessly in a Scary World (p. 56). Tyndale House Publishers, Inc.. Kindle Edition. (Click on the book title to go to Amazon to buy the book.)
That is so very true.
David said, "The 'spiritual greats' of our times have made the Word a first priority. Some pastors, leaders, teachers, and laymen have read through the Bible more than a hundred times. It is said that George Müller read it two hundred times. Missionary David Livingston read it four times in succession while he was detained in a jungle town. Charles Spurgeon said, 'A Bible that is falling apart usually belongs to someone who is not.'" So true.
David then says, "The Bible is the greatest source of encouragement available today. When we read it, we are changed because it is a living book. Whenever we are afraid of failure or feel as if we are failures, the Word of God should be our highest priority. The words we find there will infuse our hearts and minds with strength and courage. The more we focus on God and His Word, the less room there will be for fear."
Have you found that to be true yet? It is. As David said, "The more we focus on God and His Word, the less room there will be for fear." So will you give it a try? Will you? Yes, yes! #continuethought
