"The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul; The testimony of the LORD is sure,
making wise the simple; The statutes of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart; The
commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes; The fear of the LORD is clean,
enduring forever; The judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether. More to be
desired are they than gold, Yea, than much fine gold; Sweeter also than honey and the
honeycomb." (Psalm 19:7-10)
Several years ago, the Associated Press made an interesting concession. After evaluating 4,000
self-help books, they concluded that the oldest and best of the "how to's" on happiness and
contentment are in the original self-help book, the Bible. (Associated Press, Sept. 14, 1992)
"..As newborn babes, desire the pure milk of the word, that you may grow thereby..." (1 Pet. 2:2)
