THE BIBLE - A Textbook for Living

Counsel That Endures

Wise King Solomon said: "Trust in Jehovah with all your heart and do not lean upon your own understanding.  In all  your ways take notice of him, and he himself will make your paths straight."  (Proverbs 3:5, 6)  How uncomplicated, yet profound, those works are!

The Bible is a force for good.  It enable lovers of God to bring their life in harmony with his will and to find happiness in "walking in the law of Jehovah."  (Psalm 119:1)  No matter what our circumstances, the Bible contains the direction and counsel that we need.  (Isaiah 48/:17, 18) Read it daily, meditate on what  you read, and apply it.  It will keep  your mind clear and focused on things that are pure and wholesome.  (Philippians 4:8, 9)  You will learn not only how to live and enjoy life but also how to love the Creator of life.

By following such a course, the Bible will become for you-as it has for millions of others-more than just a good book.  It will truly prove to be a textbook of living!
