June.05.02: Light For The Day - "God's Word"

-- 2 Timothy 3:16,17 (NIV)
"16 All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching,
rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness,
17 so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for
every good work."

"Inspiration"

When I am tired, the Bible is my bed;
Or in the dark, the Bible is my light;
When I am hungry, it is vital bread;
Or fearful, it is armour for the fight;
When I am sick, it is healing medicine;
Or lonely, thronging friends I find therein.

If I would work, the Bible is my tool;
Or play, it is a harp of happy sound.
If I am ignorant, it is my school;
If I am sinking, it is solid ground.
If I am cold, the Bible is my fire;
And wings, if boldly I aspire.

Should I be lost, the Bible is my guide;
Or naked, it is raiment, rich and warm.
Am I imprisoned, it is ranges wide;
Or tempest-tossed, a shelter from the storm.
Would I adventure, it is a gallant sea;
Or would I rest, it is a flowery lea.

-- Dr. Amos R. Wells

-- Joshua 1:8 (NIV)
"8 Do not let this Book of the Law depart from your mouth;
meditate on it day and night,
so that you may be careful to do everything written in it.
Then you will be prosperous and successful."

-- Matthew 5:17-19 (NIV)
"17 "Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets;
I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them.
18 I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth disappear,
not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means
disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished.
19 Anyone who breaks one of the least of these commandments and
teaches others to do the same will be called least in the kingdom
of heaven, but whoever practices and teaches these commands will
be called great in the kingdom of heaven."

-- Deuteronomy 4:2 (NIV)
"Do not add to what I command you and do not subtract from it,
but keep the commands of the LORD your God that I give you."

-- Proverbs 30:6
"Do not add to His words,
or he will rebuke you and prove you a liar."

-- Revelation 22:18
"I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book:
If anyone adds anything to them, God will add to him the plagues
described in this book.
19 And if anyone takes words away from this book of prophecy,
God will take away from him his share in the tree of life and in
the holy city, which are described in this book."
