I don’t know why I crossed over the road this time to look a little bit closer at the posters in the Paper Plus shop windows. But I am glad I did. One poster took my full attention at once. I was very much interested in what I read. At the bottom of the poster it said, “Best Summer reads.” A “free book” was advertised at the top of the poster. But what was written in the middle really grabbed me, “Plus A must read book…” was written there.

“A MUST READ BOOK.”

I know only one “must read book” and that is the Bible, the Word of the Living God.

Many times I have said something about my personal encounter with the Bible.

Once upon a time the Bible was for me like any other book – until I encountered the Living God. From that moment on the Bible became alive for me, because I knew the author of the Bible, the Holy Spirit.

THE BIBLE is the book everybody must read! The Bible is the must read book.

The Bible is the supreme book!

It is the WORD of God. Second Timothy 3:16, Second Peter 1:21. Men turn to the Bible in the hour of TRAGEDY and DEATH. The Bible has the answers to the questions of LIFE and DEATH.

“Best Summer reads” are advertised on the poster. The BIBLE, the Living Word of God, is the BEST READ for every day of the year.

Psalm 119:105 ” Your Word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path.”

PS: The BIBLE is the best seller of all time!

“We should strive to live every day as if it was our last, for one day it will be.” That’s what I read long ago in a book written by B. Graham. I thought: What a challenge!

But when I was looking for it again, I could not find it – until today.

I was looking at my bookcase and the thought came to me to pick up a certain devotional book by B. Graham and look up what was written on the 17th of January . And there it was, “We should strive to live every day as if it was our last, for one day it will be.”

Pharao did not. He said so himself, “I do not know the Lord…….” Exodus 5:2

1. Only the Lord is selfexistent.

2. We are dependent beings.

Read the whole of Exodus 5:2.

I watched a bit TV while away from home and there was the story of a rescue, which was really a miracle. He can thank his lucky stars was said about the person rescued.

Maybe somebody can tell me where that phrase about the lucky stars comes from?

I don’t know about the lucky stars, but I know about the Living God, who made the stars. I have said it before, but I say it again: “The God of eternity is the God of every hour and minute for a believer in Jesus Christ.”

Are you a believer in Jesus Christ? Then say to yourself, “The God of eternity is the God of every hour and minute for a believer in Jesus Christ.” I did that not long ago, when I was in a difficult situation and knots became untied.

If you are as yet not a believer in the Lord Jesus Christ and want to know how to become one, read more posts on this blog.

“VISION is not enough; it must be combined with venture. It is not enough to stare up the steps; we must step up the stairs.” – Vaclav Havel

“A VISION without a task is

BUT A DREAM,

a task without a VISION is drudgery,

a VISION and a task is the hope of the world.”
