A while ago, I was watching Jeopardy, and one of the questions was about Google celebrating its 20th anniversary.
Since its beginning in 1998, Google analyzed each use of it's search engine—and host Alex Trebek asked contestants what the number one search was for during the last 20 years.
Of course—the title of this post already gave it away—but to put it in Jeopardy form:
"What is the Bible, Alex?" *

Also—according to Guinness World Book Records the Bible is the number one best selling book in the world with "more than 5 billion" printed.
Guinness further states: "By the end of 1995, combined global sales of [just] Today's English Version (Good News) New Testament and Bible (copyright held by the Bible Societies) exceeded 17.75 million copies, and the whole Bible had been translated into 349 languages; 2,123 languages have at least one book of the Bible in that language."

So—it becomes clear that there is huge interest in the Bible and a hunger for its message.
----------------------------------
For me—each time I read the Bible—I relearn or discover something new.
God through His Holy Spirit will often "speak" to me through what I've read—and answer questions that have been running through my mind—or offer wisdom and advice about the issues I'm facing.

| 2 Peter 1:21 |
------------------------------------------
I pray that God's Holy Spirit will speak into your life and heart—and lead you always further into fellowship with the one true God—the Creator of the universe and everything in it—and a deeper understanding of the beautiful Gift of Salvation through His only begotten Son—Jesus the Messiah—the risen King and Lord of lords!

| Proverbs 3:13-23 |
-----------------------------------
Romans 10:9-10
9 If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
10 For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved.
---------------------------------
If you've made this decision—believed it in your heart and confessed it with your mouth—let God speak to you by reading the Bible—and seek out fellowship with others who also believe.
Pour out your heart to God in Prayer (simply speaking to Him in reverence)—asking Him to reveal Himself to you and to provide for your needs.
Life in Jesus is the best decision you will ever make.
God Bless You!
