Scriptures are of infinite worth

  Thomas Brooks

(LISTEN to the Audio, Or WATCH the Video.)

The Scripture is God’s love-letter to men.

Here the lamb may wade, and here the elephant may swim.

The blessed Scriptures are of infinite worth and value!
Here you may find . . . Scriptures are of infinite worth
a remedy for every disease,
balm for every wound,
plaster for every sore,
  milk for babes,
meat for strong men,
comfort for the afflicted,
support for the tempted,
solace for the distressed,
ease for the wearied,
a staff to support the feeble,
and sword to defend the weak.

The holy Scriptures are . . .
the map of God’s mercy–and man’s misery,
touchstone of truth,
shop of remedies against all maladies,
hammer of vices,
treasury of virtues,
exposer of all sensual and worldly vanities,
balance of equity,
the most perfect rule of all justice and morality.


 
Ah friends, no book befits your hands like the Bible!

The Bible is the best preacher.
This book, this preacher will preach to you . . .
in your shops,
your chambers,
prayer-closets,
yes, in your own bosoms!
This book will preach to you both at home and abroad.
It will preach to you in all companies.
And preach to you in all conditions.

By this book you must live.
O by this book you must die.
By this book you shall be judged in the great day!
Because by this book you shall be saved–or by this book you shall be damned! 

Oh, therefore . . .
love this book above all other books,
prize this book above all other books,
read this book before all other books,
study this book more than all other books!
For he who reads much, and understands nothing–is like him who hunts much, and catches nothing!

Speaking of the blessed man, David says, “His delight is in the law of the Lord, and on his law he meditates day and night!” Psalm 1:2

“How I love Your law! I meditate on it all day long!” Psalm 119:97
