Where are the Bibles? - All The Good Seed Daily Devotionals for 2026

Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away.
Matthew 24:35

Where are the Bibles?
In several countries around the world the Bible is a rare book, and this is for various reasons such as poverty, restrictions on religious freedom or widespread illiteracy.

And what about where we are? There are probably more than enough Bibles. But where are they? Perhaps one is in the attic in a moving box, another in the closet, and who knows where the others have ended up – maybe in some dusty corner?

“But on Sundays, don’t you need a Bible to go to church?”

“What? You go to church? Sunday is the only day I can really sleep in and have brunch!”

“And what about when you have a quiet moment during the day or in the evening when you’re at home? Do you read God’s book then?”

“No, I check my messages or browse online.”

This fictional conversation is likely reality in many households: hardly anyone cares about the abundant Bibles. No one opens them. People constantly look at screens and monitors, but the Word of God is not read. The disastrous thing about it is that when we have to say goodbye to the earth, we will suddenly lose all our possessions, properties or savings. Only the Word of God and what we have recognised, believed, and lived from it – that remains for eternity.

To get to the point: Do you own a Bible? And if so, do you read it?
