Missing Bibles


“’Behold, days are coming,’ declares the Lord God, when I will send a famine of the land, not a famine for bread or a thirst for water, but rather for hearing thw Words of the Lord. And people will stagger from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east; they will go to and fro to seek the Word of the Lord. But they will not find it.’” Amos 8:11-012

“As a deer pants for the water brooks, so my soul pants for Thee, O God. My soul thirsts for God for the living God; when shall I come and appear before God? My tears have been my food day and night, while they say to me all day long, ‘Where is your God?’” Psalm 41:1-3

When I was a young Christian it was “fashionable” to focus on the End Times. One thing I knew was that the enemy would take our Bibles from us and then what would we do? So I began to write out entire books of the Bible and hide them in other books and in notebooks. Then from the Navigators I learned to systematically memorise God’s precious Word, so no one could take it from me. It is why I still try to spend quality time in His Word every day. Because today may be the day they come to take my Bibles. How about you?

Stay near God's Word. Take care. Your servant & friend in Christ, Darlene
