A little girl, on the way home from church, turned to her mother and said, “Mommy, the preacher’s sermon this morning confused me.

” The mother said, “Oh! Why is that?”

The girl replied, “Well, he said that God is bigger than we are. Is that true?”

“Yes, that’s true,” the mother replied.

“He also said that God lives within us. Is that true, too?”

Again the mother replied, “Yes.” “Well,” said the girl. “if God is bigger than us and he lives in us, wouldn’t he show through?”

I like that little girl’s way of putting it. If God lives in us, then there’s no way of keeping Him from “showing through”. That’s the essence of Christian living—-living in such a way that people around will see God in our lives. (He’ll show through)

The Bible is like a telescope. If a man looks through his telescope, then he sees worlds beyond; but if he looks at his telescope, then he does not see anything but that. The Bible is a thing to be looked through, to see that which is beyond.

- Phillips Brooks

Ever  wonder what  would  happen if we treated our Bible like we treat our cell phone, or at least used it as much?

• What  if we carried it around in our purses or  pockets?
• What  if we flipped through it several time a  day?
• What  if we turned back to go get it if we forgot  it?
• What  if we used it to receive messages from the  text?
• What  if we treated it like we couldn’t live without  it?
• What  if we gave it to Kids as  gifts?
• What  if we used it when we  traveled?
• What  if we used it in case of  emergency?

Oh,  and  one more thing. Unlike our cell phone, we don’t have to worry about our Bible being  disconnected because Jesus already paid the  bill.
