06.05. God Has Written A Book

5. GOD HAS WRITTEN A BOOK When the great of earth turn aside to write, the world clamors for their books. If an angel should take up the role of authorship all the world would become interested in his writings, but the wonder of wonders is, God has written a book. He has builded many worlds, but has written just one book. He has created many suns and stars, but only once has He taken up His pen to write, but in this one book He has revealed Himself in a greater way, than in all His other works combined. The worlds He has builded seem to hide Him, the suns and stars He has created seem to veil His face, but when we come to the Bible we find God. And when we have found Himhere then we can see Him in everything else, and we cry out with Isaiah, "Holy, holy is the Lord of hosts, the whole earth is full of his glory." As some one has so beautifully said, "The Bible is not a history, yet it gives the origin, progress and destiny of the human race. It is not a book of science, yet it contains a storehouse of knowledge on scientific subjects. It is not a book of botany, yet it gives us a beautiful picture of the Rose of Sharon and the Lily of the Valley. It is not a work on geology, yet speaks of the Rock of Ages. Not a treatise on philosophy or psychology, but filled with philosophical truth and tells the future state of the soul. Not on mathematics, yet it gives us a description of the most magnificent superstructure ever beheld, a city whose latitude, longitude and altitude have never been surpassed. Not on astronomy, yet it speaks of the sun and moon and tells of a day when the stars sang together. It is not a book of poetry yet contains the most beautiful verse that ever fell from the lips of man." A book so complete that nothing is passed over, no one is ignored and nothing is left out and from the little child to the aged parent, from the ignorant Hottentot to the learned professor, all may come and find in this Grand Old Book help for their every need.
