Psalm 37:1-5 ( http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Psalm%2037:1-5&version=NKJV )
The Book that missionaries proclaim is the Book that sustains them in the work of proclamation. Geoffrey Bull, a British missionary to Tibet, was imprisoned by Chinese Communists who seized his Bible and made him suffer terribly at their hands for three years. Bull was subjected to such mental and psychological torture that he feared he would go insane. But the missionary began to systematically go over the Scriptures in his mind. It took about six months to go all the way through the Bible mentally. He started at Genesis and recalled each Bible story as best he could, first concentrating on the content and then musing on certain points, seeking light in prayer. He reconstructed the books and chapters as best he could until he came to Revelation. Then he started over again. He later wrote, "The strength received through this meditation was, I believe, a vital factor in bringing me through, kept by the faith to the very end."
In all our labors and trials, the Book we proclaim is also the Book that restores our souls. It should be both our diet and our decree.
In the Bible God has given us thoughts of His power and His love, and He has given them to us that we may think about them and have food for our souls.
