The Bible is God’s wisdom, word, will and power for life and ministry. I like the confession of the Psalmist. Like the Psalmist, I would like to confess that:

By your words oh Lord, I can see where I’m going;
they throw a beam of light on my darkest path.
I’ve committed my whole life to you

By your grace I will never look back nor turn back from your words

Your pure words satisfy me more than bread and purest water
when the world around me falls apart,
your holy words put me together again and again.

When all go astray, your word is the lamp unto my feet

and the light that shines my path to the future

Even when the wicked do their best and worst

By your word I see and know their end

By it, I don’t swerve from my race track

The Bible is indeed my manual for a fulfilled life in Christ

What a gift! And how happy it makes me daily

and as many who read and obey its instruction, greater joy awaits them!
Lord, help me to concentrate on doing exactly what you say in the Bible
