A Book For Every Need

Whena co-worker passed me a book advert he’d received through the post, I looked at it and thought, “This can’t be true. No book can do what this promises.” It said the book contained 853 letters for “every possible personal and business need”.

Whether that book can deliver on its claims, I don’t know. I didn’t buy it. But the advertisement made me stop and think about another book that makes a similar promise.

In 2 Timothy 3:16-17 we’re told, “All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.” That’s quite an advertisement! The apostle Paul was saying that God gave us the Bible to teach us about Himself, to give us practical instructions on how to live and to equip us completely with everything we need to know in order to live a godly life on this earth.

The Bible delivers on its promises. I know because I bought it. I’ve been reading it and I’m trying to live by it. It covers all aspects of life. Its pages contain essential truths, instructions and teachings. It alone is the book for every need. Have you read it lately? —Dave

The Bible gives us all we need To live our lives for God each day; But it won’t help if we don’t read And follow what its pages say. —Sper
