A blind man was reading from his Braille type Bible, when he paused, and raising his face Heavenwards, said with quiet joy, “O God, I am thinking Thy thoughts after Thee!” That poor blind man had learned a great deal.
The Bible reveals God, and tells the truth as to us. This is why so many dislike it, and try to get rid of it in some way or other. Proud and rebellious people do not like to be told they are lost, and so they try to get rid of the Book which witnesses against them.
The Christian who knows his sins forgiven, however, loves it, and finds that the more he knows it, the more precious it becomes. Like the Psalmist he is ready to exclaim,
“More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold; sweeter also than honey, and the honeycomb.
Every effort to make us think less of the Bible, is of our adversary the Devil.
