Is Your Bible Useless?

Is your bible useless? Is it glorious and leather-bound, the sun gleaming off the gold-tinged edges of the meticulously crafted piece as it sits proudly on the bookshelf? Or does the paperback edition you received as a young child still hold fond memories of being clutched in Sunday school as it lay pristine and weighted down by the forces of gravity in the corner of some far off room? Do the thin pages of your New Testament still cling to each other as a brand new volume even though you purchased it over five years ago? Does the bible app you downloaded last month still serve only to consume memory on your device that could be better utilized for shopping or sports apps? Does the cover of your bible seem to be made of the heaviest of metals, daring you to open it, revealing that you don't have the strength or desire? Or is your bible worth more to you than any possessions of which your deepest desires could conceive? Does your bible look ragged and unkempt, tortured by years of use as your fingers fumbled through the pages in your time of need? Does your bible scream back at you with notations and revelations that blared at you in the quiet of the night as you searched for answers. Does it bear the scars of nights on your knees and days gone by that longed for solace? Have your internet searches for different bible translations brought you to the precipice of languages long forgotten and never before seen by your eyes? Is your bible light as air, waiting for even the quietest of wishes to be flung open and reveal the deepest truth? So, is your bible useless?
