“Minute of Meditation: Faith Comes by Hearing”

It was her first day on the job.  The lady of the house was having a Bible study.  Before the meeting was to start she couldn’t find her Bible, she searched everywhere.  She rushed down to the kitchen where her new housekeeper was working, “Have you seen my Bible?”  “Great”, said the new housekeeper.   “What do you mean?”  Asked the lady.  “Well”, the new employee said,” the first thing I do when I start with a new employer, is to hide their Bible.  I want to see how long it takes them to miss it. Yours is in the linen closet.”

 It would be good if everyone studied their Bible as much as they said they did. Amen.

There are millions of people in the world who claim to be Christians and never pick up the Bible and read it. 

Hos 4:6  reminds us, that God’s people are destroyed for lack of knowledge;

Then Romans 10:17 declares, “So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.”

     Will you read your Bible?  What better way to spend your time than with the word of God.  Try it and see if it changes your life!  It did mine! 

 I am Mark T. Tonkery with a minute of meditation from the Camden Ave. church of Christ where you are always welcome.
