No dust on our Bibles

Let there be no dust on our Bibles, may they be well worn from use instead. A Bible that has not been read, just sits there gathering dust. A well worn Bible is what we want to have, one that is in daily use.

The Word of God must become part of our daily lives if we want to live life to the fullest. We are always trying to do a little better and to move forward in our prayer life. The Word of God is not a history book that sits on a shelf. The Word of God is alive in us, when it becomes part of our daily life.

Have you ever seen the heavy punching bags that boxers use in their training. For a boxer to become good, his punching bag should not look like new for very long. After a certain amount of training, the bag starts to become worn and at that point the boxer will take a roll of duct tape and circle the bag with it covering the areas that are the most worn, so the bag can still be used and it wil not fall apart.

Our Bibles should become worn with use, just like a boxer's heavy punching bag. Our Bibles, the ones used on a daily basis, may need a little tape to keep them together but that is a good sign.
