WORN OUT

READ:
Psalm 119:65-72

I’ll always remember the Bible teacher who held up his well-worn Bible and said, “Every believer should wreck a copy of the Bible every 10 years.” In other words, we should use our Bibles so much that they gradually wear out. His challenge also reminds me of the saying: “A bible that’s falling apart is usually owned by someone who isn’t!” This certainly became true for me.

I’m not proud of the years when my Bible was considerably under-used. During that time, I was falling apart instead of my Bible. Amazingly, God used my condition as a means of whetting my appetite for His Word.

One day I sensed that God was reminding me that His Word is full of truth that works. From that point on, I desired to put those truths into action in my life. For me, the Bible was no longer just a guilt producer and a dust collector. Little by little, as I read it, digested it, and underlined key phrases, my Bible began falling apart instead of me!

In the margin of many pages in D.L. Moody’s Bible, he wrote letters T and P, meaning “Tried and Proved.” He had put into practice passages from God’s Word, proving that they work. You too can try and prove God’s wonder-working Word.

My Bible- Worn from years of fingered use, Penciled margins, verses underlined

With edges frayed and many pages loose-

Shows where God impressed my heart and mind. –F.Hess

The Bible is meant to be bread for daily use,

Not cake for special occasions.
