Recommended Reading: Psalm 19:7-11
“The B-I-B-L-E, yes that’s the book for me; I stand alone on the Word of God, the B-I-B-L-E.”
Most Christians who attended Sunday school or Vacation Bible School as a child sang that song. It is such a simple song, yet the words are so profound. Someone has described the Bible as God’s love letter to mankind telling us all we need to know. If the Bible doesn’t have the answer to our specific question, it tells us how to seek help and direction from God Himself.
“I stand alone” can have two meanings. First, it can mean that we are willing to stand alone, by ourselves if necessary, to defend the Word of God against all detractors. Second, it can mean that the Bible alone is our most trustworthy source of truth and life. It tells us what no other book can: how to be forgiven, how to be saved for eternity, and how to live a life pleasing to God.
Is the Bible the book for you? Do you stand alone on the Word of God? Let it light your path as you walk through this life.
The Bible was the only book Jesus ever quoted.
