A New Perspective on the Bible

So I was reading in Luke for my QT today and I had a thought. First scroll over this reference and read the text. Luke 2:25-32. Simeon KNEW Jesus by the Holy Spirit. And when "he too him up in his arms," Simeon cherished and valued and loved the WORD that was in his hands. So I was thinking... In a different way, but still, really the same, we have the WORD, the Bible, in our own hands. Do we hold it lightly, or do we lovingly take it up in our arms and say, "...my eyes have seen your salvation that you have prepared in the presence of all peoples, a light for revelation to the Gentiles, and for glory to your people Israel." There is freakin' power in that!
