Ancient Words

There are a lot of excellent books out there to help you grow in your Christian walk. I'm a big fan of Max Lucado, for instance, and we were just talking in Sunday School yesterday about Gary Chapman's The Five Love Languages, and the incredible devotional My Utmost For His Highest by Oswald Chambers (which I'm actually working my way through this year). And I'm even trying to write a couple books that I pray will help bring someone to, or closer to, Christ.

But there's only one Book we really need to grow in Christ. And the words in that Book are old - ancient, to be exact. They were written thousands of years ago. But they aren't outdated, trite, or boring.

We sang a song in church yesterday that I had never heard before, and it absolutely blessed me. The words to this song are NOT ancient, but they did bring me to a Book that is.

Heavenly Father, thank You for giving us Your Words, the ancient words that speak to us today. Help us to remember that there is no book like Yours, and to heed it. In the name of Your precious Son I pray. Amen.
