The #1 Book!

As a very young child, I can still see my brothers and me sitting on the sofa, and my Mother reading stories from the  “Bible”  to us.  What was mesmerizing  when she was reading to us,  “Mom” changed her voice, I  could see who she was talking about,  and got so involved listening, wanted the reading  to continue  “forever”!

The  story about “Shadrach”,  “Meshach  and  Abednego” being thrown into  the  “Furnace of Fire”, and the  “King” and others looking for  the men to burn up in the fire  – see an  “Angel  of God” and the three men walking around in that furnace.  The “King” calls them to come out, because their  “God ”  proves to be the “True God”!

The other story we enjoyed  was of “Daniel”, who  was thrown  into the “Lions’  Den”, just because  someone reported  “Daniel” praying to   the “One True God”,   instead of praying to the  “King’s” idols.  Over  these many years of living, these stories and  so many  others have  become more clear with my own daily reading the  “Word”!

I feel we will ultimately learn “God’s” will to live our lives,   following  His  messages, including “Love your neighbor as yourself”   and  “Follow the Golden Rule!”
