The internet search I just did came up with 51 countries that have made it illegal to own a Bible. I have not done enough checking to confirm that, but I do know for a fact of quite a few countries that illegalize the Word of God and professing a faith in Jesus Christ.
Today I am so grateful for the access I have to God through His Living Word. I have at least 8 Bibles, internet access to the Bible 24/7, plus a Bible app on my phone - that never leaves my side. At any time, I can read and gain from the powerful Words of the one and only True God. I was in a selfish and sour mood this morning, and once again after spending some time in the Scripture, I could not help but have a positive attitude adjustment. There is nothing on earth that has the power to change lives like the Word of God.
For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. Hebrews 4:12
