An Olympic gold medal is mostly silver.
It is only gold-plated. That’s not true
for
the Word of God. Every single word is
pure gold.
In other words, every word has total
integrity. Every verse shines. Every
chapter is of the utmost of value.
Psalm 119 says, “The law of Your mouth
is better to me than thousands of coins of
gold. Therefore I love Your commandments
more than gold” (verses 72, 127).
As of this writing, a
single ounce of gold is
worth more than $2,000. If you consider every
verse in the Bible an ounce of gold, the Bible in
your hands is worth more than 70 million dollars.
Anything so priceless must be greatly treasured,
deeply appreciated, and constantly
handled.
Take time to read it, to study it, to learn it,
to obey it, and to share it. Whenever you
grip your Bible, you hold a treasure in
your hands.
"The Bible
our guide, far more precious
than gold, the half of its glories have never
been told; its wonderful words for the old
and the young, the grandest e’er spoken
by poor mortal tongue."
Franklin D.
Barnes
