The Library

In the library there are books on all kinds of subjects: Poetry, Bible subjects stories, how to do things.

People come in to browse. Some come in to kill time, read a newspaper, or write a report. Some come in to research a subjest or to draw out illustrations for a class. Some want a new recipe or need information on raising their children.

The Bible is God's library of 66 books: history, exciting stories, poetry, romance, biographies and plenty of self help on how to live the Christian life and how to raise our family. When we come to God's library--do we come to kill time, to browse, to meditate? Do we come to study, to get fed, or do we read for pleasure?

Whatever our purpose is just remember to spend time in the Library with the Author. If we aren't careful, we might get caught up in the matter of duty with our Bible reading we forget to listen for what He wants to say to us.

"Seek ye out of the book of the Lord and read......" Isaiah 34:16 He has much He wants to tell us.
