The only bible I ever read. As you can see it's been read many times. Tape on top of tape is barely holding it together. 12-31-2018 Perryton, TX
I have a suggestion for
all Christians for a New Year's resolution. Tomorrow is the first day
of the New Year, 2019. If you will do this you will build your faith
beyond all imagination. Take you Holy Bible, KJV, place it near your
bed with a sheet of typing paper folded, an ink pen, and your glasses
if you need them. Starting with chapter one in the first book of the
bible, Genesis, read the whole chapter before going to bed. Take your
pen and write on the typing paper Genesis 1, cross it out, and mark
2. Read that chapter tomorrow night. Do this in consecutive order for
the entire year. Read only one chapter a night no matter how short.
or how long, they are. You probably won't finish the bible in a year,
but continue on with the next year. After reading the chapter always
kneel by your bed and pray. (talk to God personally, and sincerely,
because He is real and hears every word you say.) Never start crying
and ask for pity. When you cry your heart out, let it be for
thanksgiving that He saved you by His Grace, and Mercy. Thank Him for
listening to you, thank Him for answering you, if you have simply
asked for forgiveness for sins committed today. Thank Him for wisdom
you have asked for, You asked, He giveth. Ask Him to keep you, and
your family safe and well. I don't believe we should ask God for
anything that we specifically want, because He is our Father, and He
knows best. If we will just pray for the things I listed, God will
add to our desire, even though it may be something even better.
As you can see the bible I
have posted is barely holding together, but it is worth a million
dollars to me. Many of the pages have marks drawn under verses from
years back when I was reading. Those marks meant something back then,
but I cannot tell you what. That same verse could mean something
different today. God speaks to us through His word, and we should
always remember. I must have probably a dozen bibles in my home, but
this is the only one I read. I've even noticed where I have marked a
date with a minister's name on a sermon they preached on many years
ago. Precious memories, how they linger.
I have never been this
outspoken before about my experience with God, but I felt it was time
to let people know without a doubt, that God, and His Son, Jesus
Christ. is real, and I cannot do that without involving my own
personal experience. I believe there comes a time in everyone's life
that they have to have a personal experience with God. That is if
they ever expect to find perfect peace, and wisdom to know the
difference between right and wrong. There is no other way to find
that satisfaction. and assurance until we get sincere with God. It's
there for you, believe me.
Happy New Year
God Bless
