Scripture of the Month

  “Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.”
–Psalm 119:105
 
“Every new year is an uncharted and unknown sea.
No ship has ever sailed this way before. The wisest of earth’s sons and daughters
cannot tell us what
we may encounter on this journey.
Familiarity with the past may afford us a general
idea of what we may expect,
but just where the rocks lie hidden beneath the surface or when that “tempestuous wind called Euroclydon”
may sweep down upon us suddenly,
no one can say with certainty…
 
Now more than at any other time in generations,
the believer is in a position to go on the offensive. The world is lost on a wide sea, and Christians alone know the way to the desired haven.
While things were going well, the world scorned them with their Bible and hymns, but now the world needs them desperately, and it needs that despised Bible too.
For in the Bible, and there only,
is found the chart to tell us where
we are going on this rough and unknown ocean.
 
The day when Christians should meekly apologize is over – they can get the world’s attention not by trying to please, but by boldly declaring the truth of divine revelation.
They can make themselves heard not by compromise,
but by taking the affirmative and sturdily declaring,
“Thus saith the Lord.”
–A.W. Tozer.
