In a culture where we leave Bibles laying around in our cars from Sunday to Sunday, on coffee tables or stuck on bookshelves its very easy to take the Word of God for granted. However, what if we didn't have the Bible in our own language? How would our attention to the detail of God's Word be then?
A friend of mine sent me this video. Its of the day that the Kimyal Tribe of Papua, Indonesia received the Bible, written in their language, for the very first time. I'm amazed at how much they celebrated the arrival of the Bible and the amount of emotion that was shown once it was received. Its certainly something that we can learn from because to these people the Word of God has legitimate value. I'm willing to bet that you won't find one just laying around on a shelf among this tribe.
How about we learn something from our brothers and sisters here and start celebrating the Word of God!
