“Show me a book,” said a thinking man, “which will cause me to rejoice when I am sad; to feel strong when I am weak; which lightens the darkness; enables me to bear with meekness, the taunts and sneers of the world; to forgive my enemies and to love them; to live no more to myself, but for others—show me such a book, and I shall know it does not come from men, but from God.”
This book, we know is God's Word. “The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple.
“The statutes of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes.
“The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring forever; the judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether.
“More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold; sweeter also than honey and the honey comb.
