I truly find comfort by reading & studying my Bible, the first thing when I get up in the a.m. I have found that it helps me tremendously in getting through the day. Really - scripture, and talking with God, will truly lift your spirits. My only problem now is stopping. I'm reluctant to put God's Word down.
As did Jesus, I spend at least 2 or 3 hours with God, early in the morning and throughout the day. God tells me stuff & I tell Him stuff - but the most fun is when He surprises me with (you might say) a "joke" - or something like that. There are other bits of things He has done that makes me smile (And I tell Him so).
God has given me knowledge and wisdom, when for years I was told I was incapable of finishing high school. Yet, I not only finished, but graduated with three more credits than I needed. I found that the King James packs into your brain the connective neurons quickly.
I've seen this also happen to children, who were learning disabled, failing in school and when
given a King James Bible, after a short time, begin making "A"s & "B"s in school and improved behavior. Before, they could hardly read and had very little comprehension, but every time I've seen reading skills go up.
I have known others who have been helped by the King James, as well the "Great Controversy," * [1]
I'm not against using "some" of the other versions of the Bible - But I look at them more as "Bible Commentaries." Nowadays, you have to be extra careful about some of the newer versions that came out since the 1900's. If it is a question of doctrine, you MUST use the King James Version as the final authority.
The King James Bible has an anointing upon it. It has been touched by God, because of all the blood spilled by martyrs over its pages. It seems like a special spirit attends it's every word. I recommend this exceptional book to all those who suffer from depression, loneliness, fear, anxiety or
anything else this world may throw at you.
This Bible is cheaper than a psychiatrist (sometimes free) and certainly is available 24/7 (in case of emergencies, "break open" its pages!). It won't betray you - or try to put you in a looney bin, nor will it look down its nose at you. But beware -- it will most definitely change you. May God bless all who read it.
