On the 4th of October 1537 the world got to read the first Bible printed in the English language, and this was thanks to the tireless work of people like William Tyndale and Miles Coverdale. It is a sad reality that many English speakers now take this gift for granted and we forget the true joy of listening to the sacred scriptures (or reading them) in our mother tongue.
The quote in the picture above strikes a chord with me, where it reminds me that "the things I take for granted, someone else is praying for."
What other things do I take for granted?
Enjoy reading these words from the Bible and say a prayer of thanks for all those involved in translating the Bible into the languages of the world.
Ecclesiastes 7:14 (The Message) - On a good day, enjoy yourself; On a bad day, examine your conscience. God arranges for both kinds of days So that we won’t take anything for granted.
Living in Grace
