A needed book

~ ~ ~ ~ ~

(J. R. Miller, "Counsel and Help" 1907)

"I have put my hope in Your Word."
Psalm 119:81

So long as there are . . .
tears and sorrows,
and broken hearts,
and crushed hopes,
and human failures,
and lives burdened and bowed down,
and spirits sad and despairing--
so long will the Bible be a needed book.
It is full of inspiration, light, help and strength for earth's weary ones.

"The law of the LORD is perfect--reviving the soul.
The statutes of the LORD are trustworthy--making wise the simple.
The precepts of the LORD are right--giving joy to the heart.
The commands of the LORD are radiant--giving light to the eyes.
The fear of the LORD is pure--enduring forever.
The ordinances of the LORD are sure and altogether righteous.
They are more desirable than gold--even the finest gold.
They are sweeter than honey--even honey dripping from the comb.

By them is Your servant warned; in keeping them there is great reward."
Psalm 19:7-11
