Many years ago a Moslem student in Cairo was given a New Testament, but he only used it to argue with the Christians. However as the years went by, it lay neglected amongst his other books. One day he became ill and the doctor ordered him to bed. Faced with a few days’ idleness he asked his wife to find the Testament and he began to read.
Filled with growing interest, and having an inner feeling that he would find salvation before he finished this Book, he prayed that God would not allow the doctor to send him back to work before he was saved. God graciously opened his eyes to see what a sinner he was in His sight, and also to see the Saviour who is willing and able to save, so that before he resumed work he became a new creature in. Christ Jesus. (2 Cor 5:1717Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. (2 Corinthians 5:17))
He is now one of God’s devoted servants, and has walked faithfully with Him amidst many trials, testifying fearlessly to all, and winning many souls to the Lord Jesus Christ.
This man found the truth of the scripture “Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.” Psa. 119:105105NUN. Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path. (Psalm 119:105). Have you found it to be such, dear reader?
Have you, too, accepted the Lord. Jesus as your Saviour, the One who bore the punishment of sins on the cross? If not, do so at once, and then you will be able to say, “Thy Word. was unto me the joy and rejoicing of mine heart: for I am called by Thy name, O Lord God of hosts.” Jer. 15:1616Thy words were found, and I did eat them; and thy word was unto me the joy and rejoicing of mine heart: for I am called by thy name, O Lord God of hosts. (Jeremiah 15:16).
