The Bible’s Supreme Place
In my solitude there are so many thoughts to pick up the Bible and usually such tiny things distract me. Eventually I do come to Jesus the “Word Made Flesh”. As i struggle to Abide in him as he abides in me I know instantly His Word is my food and without it i will never have Victory. rememberomg this we are more inspiried to listen to the first thought asking us to join him alive in His Word. Oh how close thy kingdom comes then/now.

Faith’s Check Book, Daily Entry
C. H. Spurgeon
The Bible’s Supreme Place
Great peace have they which love thy law: and nothing shall offend them. (Psalm 119:165)
Yes, a true love for the great Book will bring us great peace from the great God and be a great protection to us. Let us live constantly in the society of the law of the Lord, and it will breed in our hearts a restfulness such as nothing else can. The Holy Spirit acts as a Comforter through the Word and sheds abroad those benign influences which calm the tempests of the soul.
Nothing is a stumbling block to the man who has the Word of God dwelling in him richly. He takes up his daily cross, and it becomes a delight. For the fiery trial he is prepared and counts it not strange, so as to be utterly cast down by it. He is neither stumbled by prosperity—as so many are—nor crushed by adversity—as others have been—for he lives beyond the changing circumstances of external life. When his Lord puts before him some great mystery of the faith which makes others cry, “This is an hard saying; who can hear it?” the believer accepts it without question; for his intellectual difficulties are overcome by his reverent awe of the law of the Lord, which is to him the supreme authority to which he joyfully bows. Lord, work in us this love, this peace, this rest, this day.
