I got my first laptop at work, and the benefit is that I can take it with me wherever I go, if need be. I got to take advantage of that when I had to work at home. All I had to do was plug in my laptop, start it up, and all my projects were there on the screen waiting for me to work on. I spent my time at home just like I did at the office, typing and clicking away until quitting time came. I was amazed by how I was able to get the same amount of work done (and perhaps more) when I was home as I got done in the office. Have laptop, will travel, you could say.
It occurred to me that we could say the same thing about the Bible. Have Bible, will travel. We do not have be in church to use a Bible. We can take the Bible anywhere and do the activity of the Church wherever the Holy Spirit leads us. We do not have to worry that the Bible won’t work the same for us in a new locale. It is just as powerful and has just as much impact in a coffee shop or a homeless shelter or a dorm room or a park as it does in a church. Wherever we are following the task our boss, Jesus, has given to spread the Word, the Word will be heard. So take your Bible with you. Use it without fear in each place you find yourself. God will guide you to get his work done for the good of the kingdom in every spot he puts you.
