Listen from:
A schoolboy, of six or seven years and the son of Christian parents, had to write a short essay on “My Greatest Treasure.” His father and mother wondered which of those things he treasured most he would write about. When he showed them what he had written how overjoyed they were to read his first sentence: “My greatest treasure is my Holy Bible.”
How good to see the dear boy finding such delight in the Holy Scriptures, like one of old who could say, “More are they to be desired than gold, yea, than much fine gold"! Psa. 19:1010More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb. (Psalm 19:10).
