What if..........

[Fragrant Grace]

Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path
Psalm 119:105

I read this on a friends Facebook page and it put me to shame


What if we began to treat our Bibles the way we treat our cell phones:

What if

We carried it with us everywhere

Turned back to get it if we forgot it

Checked it for messages throughout the day

Used it in case of an emergency

Spent an hour or more using it each day

Think about it dear brothers and sisters, in this electronic age, where we are governed by our gadgets what takes more priority in your life?
What changes we would see in our lives if we treated His word like we do our phones

Let us cling to the Bible....our Lamp and our Guide

His heart is fixed, trusting in the Lord
Psalm 112:2

 

[kyval82]

That is so very true. Sadly i am guilty of not doing this as well. but it does make me think!

 

[mercy777]

I have thought the same things myself and wonder if someone will come up with something unique like a cellphone & built in bible combination for the Christian on the run

I will trust in Thee
Psalm 55:23

My cell phone has a Bible Application which is really good

However, I think what has really challenged my heart is looking honestly at how I use my time.....more time is spent with my cellphone
And what I would rush back home to grab if I'd forgotten it......again it would be my cellphone

O Lord may we place all our trust in You
Make Thee and Thy word our priority and our refuge in time of need

An old Sunday school hymn comes to mind......

Cling to the Bible, though all else be taken;
Lose not its precepts, so precious and pure;
Souls that are sleeping its tidings awaken;
Life from the dead in its promises sure.

Cling to the Bible! This jewel and treasure
Brings life eternal, and saves fallen man;
Surely its value no mortal can measure:
Seek for its blessing, O soul, while you can!

Lamp for the feet that in byways have wandered,
Guide for the youth that would otherwise fall;
Hope for the sinner whose life has been squandered,
Staff for the agèd, and best book of all.

Cling to the Bible!
Cling to the Bible!
Cling to the Bible—
Our Lamp and our Guide!*
