DESCRIPTION
------------------------------------------------------------------------

A.W. Tozer emphasizes the paradox of the Bible being deemed 'dangerous'
by some, while it brings life and guidance to those who love their
Savior and hate their sin. He argues that the Word of God should not be
approached with fear, but rather with a desire to explore and understand
its truths. Tozer highlights the importance of keeping the Word of God
close to our hearts, as neglecting it leads to spiritual misery. He
encourages believers to read and meditate on the Scriptures, following
the example of George Mueller, who read the Bible hundreds of times with
deep reflection. Ultimately, Tozer calls for a sincere commitment to
engaging with God's Word.

What a strange paradox! The atheistic free-thinker rants and raves about
the Bible being a "dangerous" book at the very same time that the Word
of God is speaking life to my soul! Strange indeed that some humans have
the idea that the Word of God can only be approached with shivering
fears. But that is true only of those who love their sin and hate their
Savior. The blessed truth is that if I hate my sin and love my Savior,
the Word of God is a wonderful revelation, indeed, and a trustworthy
guide. We need to be aware always that if we do not keep the Word of God
on our side, we will be miserable in our souls continually. It is up to
us.

What do we sincerely will to do with God and His revealed Word?

Years ago, the saintly George Mueller said he had read the Bible
hundreds of times, and then he added: "with meditation!" Let us see to
it that we read the Word. More than that, we should actually explore it!
