His 66 Books
I have restrained my feet from every evil way, that I may keep Your word. Psalm 119:101
Izaak Walton (1593-1683) wrote a poem about the power of the Bible to strengthen his moral life:
Every hour
I read you, kills a sin
Or lets a virtue in
To fight against it.

Reading and listening to God’s Word is the first step to understanding it, and understanding it leads to self-examination, self-correction, growth, maturity and to a wiser, stronger life. When God’s Word takes root in our minds, it produces fruit, resulting in a change in our conduct and our conversation.
Allow the words of Scripture to penetrate your heart and mind and lead to lasting change in your words and actions. Read the Bible actively, asking yourself, “In this passage, is there a change to make, a sin to confess, a habit to strengthen, or a weakness to correct?” Let God shape your mind and clarify your life by an active daily engagement with His 66 books! Begin today!
By the instrument of the Scriptures, in the hands of the Holy Spirit, God cuts away the corrosion from the template of His glory. Miraculously we are thus conformed to the peculiar shape of God’s glory. John Piper
