Use your Bible

Perhaps there is no book more neglected in these days than the Bible. I do verily believe there are more mouldy Bibles in this world than there are of any sort of neglected books. We have stillborn books in abundance; we have innumerable books which never see any circulation except the circulation of the butter shop, but we have no book that is so much bought, and then so speedily laid aside, and so little used, as the Bible.-Charles Spurgeon

I never thought about how the Bible is the most published book, but also the most neglected book in the world. So many people by a Bible to put it up on a shelf or on the coffee table as if it is a part of the furniture. As Spurgeon said, "There is enough dust on peoples Bibles that you can right the word damned in it."
Also another quote by Spurgeon,
If my compass always points to the North, I know how to use it; but if it veers to other points of the compass, and I am to judge out of my own mind whether it is right or not, I am as well without the thing as with it. If my Bible is right always, it will lead me right; and as I believe it is so, I shall follow it.
The only way you can tell if a stick is bent is to hold it up to a strait one. The same goes for the world. When we want to know if something is right or wrong we go to Gods word.

In a cotton factory, there was a card on the walls of the workrooms that read: “If your threads get tangled send for the foreman.” One day a new worker got her threads tangled, and she tried to disentangle them, but only made them worse. Then she sent for the supervisor. He came and looked. Then he said to her, “You have been doing this yourself?” “Yes,” she said. He questioned, “But why did you not send for me according to instructions?” “I did my best,” she said. “No, you did not,” the supervisor said. “Remember that doing your best is sending for me!” Jeremiah 33:3, “Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know.”
Remember, follow God's instructions. Call on Him today!

God Bless,
