Nothing Compares To The Bible
For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. 4The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. 5We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.

"The days are coming," declares the Sovereign LORD, "when I will send a famine through the land— not a famine of food or a thirst for water, but a famine of hearing the words of the LORD.
Amos 8:11 (NASB)
1. THE BIBLE IS THE ONLY BOOK GOD PROMISED TO INSPIRE
Above all, you must realize that no prophecy in Scripture ever came from the prophet’s own understanding, 21or from human initiative. No, those prophets were moved by the Holy Spirit, and they spoke from God.
2 Peter 1:20-21 (NLT)
All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right. 17God uses it to prepare and equip his people to do every good work.
2 Timothy 3:16-17 (NLT)
2. GOD PROMISES TO BLESS THE READERS OF THE BIBLE
This is a revelation from Jesus Christ, which God gave him to show his servants the events that must soon take place.
3 God blesses the one who reads the words of this prophecy to the church, and he blesses all who listen to its message and obey what it says, for the time is near.
Revelation 1:1, 3 (NLT)
3. THE BIBLE IS THE ONLY BOOK THAT WILL LIVE FOREVER
The grass withers and the flowers fade, but the word of our God stands forever.”
Isaiah 40:8 (NLT)
I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth disappear, not even the smallest detail of God’s law will disappear until its purpose is achieved.
Matthew 5:18 (NLT)
4. THE BIBLE IS ACCURATE
35The eyewitness to these things has presented an accurate report. He saw it himself and is telling the truth so that you, also, will believe.
36-37These things that happened confirmed the Scripture, "Not a bone in his body was broken," and the other Scripture that reads, "They will stare at the one they pierced."
John 19:35-36 (TM)
5. THE BEST TIME FOR DEVOTIONS IS WHEN YOU’RE AT YOUR BEST
Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked or stand in the way of sinners or sit in the seat of mockers. 2But his delight is in the law of the LORD, and on his law he meditates day and night. 3He is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither. Whatever he does prospers. 6For the LORD watches over the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked will perish.
Psalm 1:1-3, 6 (NIV)
Will you give God your very best?
