Do you rejoice in His Word? How much do you value them? Prove it. How can I tell how much you value it?
Can you get to where you actually enjoy the Word more than riches? Have we become spoiled by the easy availability of the Bible? A survey has said 91% of American households own at least one Bible. What is is like in other countries?
Here's a couple stories of some who valued the Bible much more than rich
----
From http://www.pastornet.net.au/fwn/2000/nov/art05.html (published November 2000)
Voice of the Martyrs obtained the "Management Regulations of Religious Affairs in Guangdong Province," issued on 26 May 2000. These 69 regulations govern all religious activities and are similar to the restrictions in place across China
The regulations emphasise that no religious group or person may "carry, sell, copy or distribute self-printed or illegally imported religious publications". Government approval is required for any publication and foreign visitors are restricted to carrying material only for their own use.
This essentially means that Christians in China cannot publish or distribute Bibles or Christian literature to meet demand. They cannot even copy a hymn or a Bible passage to give to another believer. The fines to be imposed range from 500 RMB to 20,000 RMB. (This is equivalent to 6 weeks to 4 years wages.)
Without warning, ten plain clothes police burst into Fan Yun Yong's home. The small group of Christian believers who met on July 4 were bundled into the waiting police vans and taken to the detention centre.
At the centre a senior police officer shouted, "Who is Fan Yun Yong!" Fan said, "Here I am." Ten officers escorted him back to his home. Once there, the officers ransacked his home, confiscating everything they thought to be "religious". Every book, tract, poster and Bible was taken away.

From http://www.soon.org.uk/true_stories/holocaust.htm, about the life of Corrie Ten Boom
(Her family had kept Jews living in a secret room. The Nazis found out it, and arrested her. They never found the Jews they had hidden, who later were able to escape. She was put in harsh prisons.)
Every evening at about nine o'clock Father ten Boom always held family prayers. Here, under arrest, a group gathered round him to do the same. There was no Bible, but Father ten Boom knew much of it by heart anyway...
Before she had left the hospital, a nurse had given Corrie a small packet which she had hid in her clothes. In it she found a toothbrush, some soap and, best of all, copies of the four Gospels in booklet form...
During the four months that Corrie was alone in her cell, she spent much of her time reading and re-reading the four Gospels that the hospital nurse had given her...
(She was eventually released. It turned out it was by accident. Every female her age was killed at her camp about a week after her release.)
