Things old and new can be discovered

That I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the Lord and to inquire in his temple. (Psalm 27:4 ESV)

 In Psalm 27 we read that King David considered it his principal joy to be able to gaze on the beauty of God in the tabernacle where the artifacts symbolizing God’s intervention on behalf of His people were kept. Today we have a place just as beautiful and amazing to go to; we have His Word in its fullness, and His Holy Spirit dwelling within us to speak to our hearts personally.
 Each time you read a Bible passage, things old and new can be discovered. When we return again and again to His Word, it becomes our main joy and our priority, just as gazing on God’s beauty and meditating on who He is and what He does was so important to King David. When we go through hardship, when we stumble along our walk of life, when we suffer great disappointment, this is the one recourse that comes through for us over and over again to sustain us.
 His Word cleanses and regenerates our spirits. And through the years, as we gaze more deeply and come to enjoy it more fully and understand it more completely, our assurance and faith gradually grow stronger. This simple thing, going to God’s Word, changes our motivations, our identity, our views, and our actions. —William B. McGrath [1]

 I had three teachers: the street, the school, the Bible. In the end it is the Bible that counted the most. It is the only book we should own. —Duke Ellington
