A Glass of Cold Water

Here is a quote from David Ringer's blog:

The Nama people, of hot southwestern PNG, do not have the Bible in their language. "Having the Bible only in English," said a Nama woman, "is like holding a cold glass of water that we can't drink."

I thought this was quite powerful. Having a Bible in English is like having cold glass of water that you can't drink. Think of having a cold glass of water on a summer day 110 degrees and you can't drink it! That is what it is like for people without a Bible in their heart language. They want to drink of the Living Water, but can't! How many Bibles do you have in your house? How many versions of the Holy Bible do you own? Don't take it for granted. Pray and better yet, put feet on those prayers for the millions without a verse in their heart language.
