Vacation Time
“And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God” (Ephesians 6:17).
Vacation time is upon us, and here is an account with a good lesson for us all:
The story is told of a young man who was packing his suitcase for his first holiday away from home. As a friend stood by, the young man packed one article after another — pants, shirts, shoes, socks, his tennis racket and balls, etc. There remained a space just about six inches by four inches; all the rest of the case was full. “What are you going to pack there?” asked the friend.
“I have reserved that corner,” replied the young man, “to pack a guidebook, a lamp, a mirror, a microscope, a telescope, a volume of poems, several fine biographies, a package of love letters, a book of songs, some histories, a hammer and a sword. I am going to put in that space my Bible, the Word of God.”
Don’t neglect your Bible this summer! Take it with you wherever you go. Learn to carry a pocket edition or New Testament, and above all read it often and prayerfully.
