Dear Young Christian:
How much value do you place on the Bible? When Samuel was a young person, the Word of God was scarce. We read: “The word of the Lord was precious in those days; there was no open vision.” (1 Samuel 3:1).
Some time ago, at a large airport, a dirty small box, of considerable weight, was kicked around on the floor, being used as a door stop when needed. It had been there for some time, and no one seemed to know where it came from. Finally, someone became curious and it was pried open. It contained a gold brick! It had been part of a cargo shipped by air through a carefully guarded route, and in such crude looking boxes as a security disguise. One box had dropped off the cart! It was returned to the government authorities. So it is with the precious Bible, the Word of God contained in a book. Collecting dust perhaps, ignored, and used as an ornament, or to keep things in, or just kicked around! But it is priceless! Value it!
Your Christian Friend,
Jim Hyland
