NEW ZEALAND BIBLE MONTH – JULY 2014

“Librarians connecting children and books everyday,” it says on the bookmark I picked up today at our local library here in Kaitaia.

When I read or hear about books, I am thinking straight away about “THE BOOK OF BOOKS.”

An anonymous hymn writer wrote the following words:

FOOTSTEPS

“The B-I-B-L-E,

Yes, that is the book for me;

I stand alone on the Word of God,

The B-I-B-L-E.

The B-I-B-L-E,

Yes, that is the book for me;

I’ll read and pray and then obey

The B-I-B-L-E.

Four questions: Is the Bible also the book for you? Are you standing alone on the Bible? Are you reading the Bible? Are you obeying the Bible?

In a very old book called “Good in everything,” by H. L. Gee, I found what Henry Williams Baker said,

“Lord, Thy word abideth,

And our footstep guideth;

Who its truth believeth

 Light and joy receiveth.”

JULY 2014 is New Zealand Bible Month.

Let us pray especially during the month of July that parents connecting their children and THE BOOK OF BOOKS everyday.
