Billy Graham's Daily Devotion

World's Best Seller

July 1, 2013

His every word is a treasure of knowledge and understanding.
–Proverbs 2:6 (TLB)

It is small wonder . . . the Bible has always been the world’s best
seller! No other book can touch its profound wisdom, its poetic beauty, or the accuracy of its history and prophecy. Its critics who claimed it to be filled with forgery, fiction, and unfulfilled promises are finding that the difficulties lie with themselves, and not the Bible. Greater and more careful scholarship has shown that apparent contradictions were caused by incorrect translations, rather than divine inconsistencies. It was man and not the Bible that needed correcting. And yet—in many homes and among so-called educated people—it has become fashionable to joke about the Bible and to regard it more as a dust-catcher than as the living Word of God. . . . Too many families have used the Bible as a safe storage place for old letters and pressed flowers, and have overlooked entirely the help and assurance that God intended this Book to give them.

Prayer for the day

Almighty God, I praise You for the authority of Your Word, which speaks to me of my redemption, life as it should be lived, peace and eternal life with You.

Without the Bible, we really know nothing. It makes a grey world black and white. Because of the Bible I now what is right and what is wrong. When I am faced with a fork in life I know which way to go. God meant for it all to make sense. And it does.

World's Best Seller, THE BIBLE, it's all about ONE PERSON, JESUS! The Word became flesh. LORD, You said, The words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life(John 6:63). Yes LORD, with my every breath I'm holding onto YOUR LIVING WORD.

Annie says 6.27.2012, 7:10 p.m.

LORD, I THANK YOU FOR YOUR HOLY WRIT. All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: (2 Timothi 3:16). Your Holy Word transformed our lives miraculously...!

The Holy Word of the Bible is the ONLY book on this planet with supernatural powers that will heal someone's mind, change one's life for the better and the receiver can't even believe the dramatic change in their life! Oh how He loves us...

Gerry says 7.1.2011, 06:58 a.m.

The Bible is without any doubt God's Holy Inspired Word. Written by God appointed people more than 2000 years ago. It contains more wisdom, than all other books, combined. It is and has been treasured by all who truly love and serve the Lord. Even scoffers and unbelievers will one day realize they were terribly wrong because every knee will bow before God Almighty..............................

We must be genuinely interested in what our loving Creator, Redeemer and Judge wants to tell us.
