因為耶和華賜人智慧，知識和聰明都有他口而出。--箴言：2:6
His every word is a treasure of knowledge and understanding.—Proverbs 2:6 (TLB)
不足為奇，聖經一直以來都是世界上最暢銷的書！沒有其他任何書籍能夠觸及到它深厚的智慧，詩意的美，以及它歷史和預言的準確性！聲稱這是充滿了偽造、虛構、不能兌現承諾的批評者發現其實這樣的困難是在於他們自己，而不是聖經。越來越仔細的學術已經表明引起這種明顯的矛盾不是真理、預言的不一致，而是翻譯的不準確性！而這需要糾正的是我們人類而不是聖經！然而在許多的家庭，在所謂的受過教育的人中，他們拿聖經開玩笑已變得很時髦，把它當作一個除塵器，而不是神活潑的道...太多的家庭把聖經放在一個存放舊信件或乾花的安全儲存點，並完全忽略了上帝想要透過這本書給他們帶去的幫助和應許。
It is small wonder . . . the Bible has always been the world’s best-seller! No other book can touch its profound wisdom, its poetic beauty, or the accuracy of its history and prophecy. Its critics who claimed it to be filled with forgery, fiction, and unfulfilled promises are finding that the difficulties lie with themselves, and not the Bible. Greater and more careful scholarship has shown that apparent contradictions were caused by incorrect translations, rather than divine inconsistencies. It was man and not the Bible that needed correcting. And yet—in many homes and among so-called educated people—it has become fashionable to joke about the Bible and to regard it more as a dust-catcher than as the living Word of God. . . . Too many families have used the Bible as a safe storage place for old letters and pressed flowers, and have overlooked entirely the help and assurance that God intended this Book to give them.
今日禱告：
全能的上帝，我為你話語的權威來讚美你，這是我的救贖之道，我能夠得以存活、擁有平安，享有永生的生命之道！
Almighty God, I praise You for the authority of Your Word, which speaks to me of my redemption, life as it should be lived, peace and eternal life with You.
