Open my eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of your law. Psalm 119:18
D.L. MOODY
We have a great many prayer meetings, but there is something just as important as prayer, and that is that we read our Bibles, that we have Bible study and Bible lectures and Bible classes so that we may get hold of the Word of God. When I pray, I talk to God, but when I read the Bible, God is talking to me; and it is really more important that God should speak to me than that I should speak to Him. I believe we should know better how to pray if we knew our Bibles better.

Christianity claims to be a revealed religion. And there are other religions claiming to be revealed. Joseph Smith claims he had a revelation from an angel. Of course, Muhammad claims to have had a revelation. But when you talk about revelations, you must test them for authenticity and consistency. Do they make sense? You also must test them for their truth value. Do they really explain reality? There is much about the Bible that commends it as the very Word of God.
Christianity is totally unique and different. Instead of one author, there are least forty distinct authors of the book that we call the Bible, and they were all addressing the same issues—God, man, sin, and redemption. And Scripture points to one Redeemer: the Word made flesh. As Moody said, when we read the Bible, God is talking to us.
Let us read the Scripture and let us pray the Scripture. Then we shall have rest for our souls.
PRAYER
Father, guide me to love your Word and to live by your will.REFLECTION QUESTIONS
Look at all the other religions on earth, each one had a single founder for their writings and their prophecies did not come true. How is the Bible different from them?
Psalms 119:105 says God’s word is a lamp for our feet. What do you think this means? Why can we trust this claim?
