When I first opened my Bible to type the above Scriptures I saw this
Scripture that I had underlined in my Bible, which at one time impressed
me greatly. I feel that it must be for you too, as the Psalmist had a
desire like yours, so in his prayer he said, "Teach me, O Lord, the way
of thy statutes; and I shall keep it unto the end. Give me
understanding, and I shall keep thy law; yea, I shall observe it with my
whole heart." Psalms 119:33,34. Then I always liked the verse above
these verses, which I also have marked, and have quoted many times to
others. "Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against
thee." (verse 11). So we do need to desire to know what is right and
what is wrong, seek after understanding, and it will be given to us.
After we know and understand, we want to remember to obey God's Word.
There is no book like the Bible. When I speak of the Bible I definitely
refer to the King James Version. Today, there are many versions of the
Bible, and the devil is using this to confuse people, and cause them to
lose faith in God's Word. I personally can say, that I have searched out
the King James Version of the Bible, have obeyed it, and I have found a
deep, sweet peace in my soul. By obeying it, I found contact with God
which makes me know it is true. Your great-grandfather (Fred Pruitt)
preached from it, lived by it, and saw many others saved from their
sins, who lived and died by it, with victory over sin and the devil. Oh,
yes, it does bring joy to a person and fulfills that deep longing in
every person for peace and satisfaction in this life!
In studying the Bible, we find a Unity of Thought which makes us know
that One Mind inspired the writing and arrangement of all the books.
Truly it is THE WORD OF GOD! It is different from any other book in the
world. It is a divine book and not just a human book. We reject, with
abhorrence, that it is like other books. The Bible is an account of
God's efforts to reveal Himself to mankind. It is a record of His
dealings with man and His revealed will concerning him. The Bible is for
instruction and guidance in all the ways of life. From all the facts
that the Apostle Paul gathered he said, "All Scripture is given by
inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for
correction, for instruction in righteousness." II Tim. 3:16. Thus we
find it to be true.
