Hungry Souls

Nancy DeMoss Wolgemuth: When Margaret Nikol was a child, she studied the Bible. Well, actually she studied the one treasured page she owned from a Bible while she was growing up in communist Bulgaria.

After Dr. Nikol was exiled to the United States, she visited a bookstore. Overwhelmed by the display of Bibles, she describes her reaction. She says, “I wept and wept and wept for joy.”

Margaret Nikol’s story reminds us of how precious a gift the Word of God really is.

Proverbs says, “One who is full loathes honey from the comb, but to the hungry even what is bitter tastes sweet” (27:7). A lot of people in the world are hungry for the Word of God but can’t get a single copy.

The next time you start to read the Bible, remember what an incredible treasure it is. Let’s approach the Word of God with hungry hearts.
