Especially this part, "I can't imagine where I would be without my Bible to turn to each day. There is an answer to every situation we may face. There is a comforting verse for each need. There are words of encouragement for each and every day." Beautifully said.<BR/><BR/>My renewed love for God's word came backwards though. I wasn't studying it like I should have been, then hard times came, and I dug in. I was so encouraged and uplifted. I wondered how people who don't have it even make it through hard times! Now it is such a wonderful part of my life, I can't imagine not digging in everyday.Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05385113276975410417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4252377263602187066.post-60722638395785920332008-09-18T21:33:00.000-05:002008-09-18T21:33:00.000-05:00Melanie, I echo your thanks today...what a gift we...Melanie, I echo your thanks today...what a gift we have in God's word!

I, too, am grateful for His Word. Last year I decided for the first time to make a true committment to read through the Bible in a year. I did it 3 times. How glorious is His Word! I find new truths each time I read it, I guess He speaks specifically to me through whatever I'm reading at the time and I see it in a whole new light. I have learned so much about the character of God and His love for us...I am humbled by it, quite frankly. Glad you're enjoying reading His Word.
