Exodus 11:1-12:20; Psalm 44:1-26; Acts 5:12-42
Whoso despiseth the word shall be destroyed: but he that feareth the commandment shall be rewarded. Proverbs 13:13
It has been well said that how a person responds to the Word of God will accurately indicate who they are. If a person’s Bible is neglected and unused, it will reflect an individual who is godless and indifferent to His truth. How differently two kings, Josiah and his son Jehoiakim, treated the Scriptures. Josiah rent his clothes and inquired of the Lord when he read its warnings (2 Kgs. 22:11-13). In contrast, his son cut it up and burned it (Jer. 36:23)! How much do we value and obey the Scriptures? —Pete Smith
Lord, Thy Word abideth,
And our footsteps guideth;
Who its truth believeth,
Light and joy receiveth. —H. W. Baker
