We are travelling through a desolate world, the way is dark, and the path rough. But with the lantern of God’s holy word hung before us we are in safety, for then we are walking in the light. This lantern must shine on our path every day, and every hour, then it will shine in brightness.

The Bible is a book for all times, our souls have a need for sustenance every day as our bodies do, and in the holy word of God God will nourish us if we plead to him to give us our bread every day. It is essential for us to read the word every day. Then, let us start in the beginning of the book, and read a chapter or two every day, and in a short time all will be read through. If we can’t find time for a whole chapter let’s read several verses every day and God will give you help to go on if you need it, and remember what you read.

When we are looking at the word, it is like looking up at the sky. When the darkness of the night is close we look first and we aren’t seeing anything, then we look again and we’re seeing stars, until the sky is all stars. Then, begin to look out for the stars that are in the word.
