Getting Started With Your PDA Bibles

Reading the Bible on your PDA is the fundamental yet profound focus of our current article. You will learn about the inestimable value of enjoying God’s word and about the ease with which you can do it on your PDA.
"Blessed is He Who Reads"

The Bible is the only book I know that heartily and repeatedly recommends itself, promising manifold blessings to its readers.

“Blessed is the one who reads the words of this prophecy, and blessed are those who hear it and take to heart what is written in it, because the time is near” (Rev. 1:3—NIV). “Receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls” (James 1:21—KJV). “My son, if you receive my words, and treasure my commands within you, so that you incline your ear to wisdom, and apply your heart to understanding; yes, if you cry out for discernment, and lift up your voice for understanding, if you seek her as silver, and search for her as for hidden treasures; then you will understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God” (Prov.2:1-5—NKJV)

People of renown in the Bible were characterized by their love of the scriptures. Notice how David describes the law, statutes, and judgments of the Lord:

“More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold; sweeter also than the honey and the droppings of the honeycomb. Moreover, by them is thy servant warned; in keeping them there is great reward” (Psa.19:10-11)

The prophet Jeremiah exuded his love for God’s word when he wrote,

“Your words were found, and I ate them; and Your words were to me a joy and the rejoicing of my heart…” (Jer.15:16—Amplified Bible)

The patriarch Job declared,

“I have esteemed the words of his mouth more than my necessary food” (Job 23:12—KJV)

and the Lord Jesus resisted the devil’s temptation to change stones into bread by quoting Deuteronomy,

“It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God’ ” (Mat.4:4—NKJV)

How very strong indeed is the Bible’s own recommendation of itself!

From these verses alone, we see that salvation, understanding, discernment, the fear of the Lord, the knowledge of God, a joyful heart, life, and victory are among the innumerable blessings that accrue to a person who spends time in the word of God.
