"The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul; the testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple;
The statues of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart; the commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes;
The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring forever; the judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether.
More to be desired are they than gold, yea, then much fine gold; sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.
Psalm 19:7-10 (NKJV)
In the world of the Internet, things are not always what they seem to be, or what they claim to be. You have probably seen something that talks about a celebrity who may have died, some amazing thing that you have to see, or an unbelievable situation that just happened. But if you click on the story, it is not really worth looking at. These types of things are often referred to as "clickbait." Clickbait is defined as something that tries to get a person to click on a link or story, but the content is actually of little value or real interest, and could even be something bad.
The Bible is a book that is easily available, but even so, not everyone reads the Bible. People are sometimes skeptical about the Bible and what it says, and there are also people who think the Bible is too confusing, out of date, unreliable, or not really relevant any more. But the real problem is that people do not spend the time in God's Word that they really need to in order to get the benefit from it. While we cannot just figure everything out in the Bible with only our natural intellect, God will help us to understand the Bible and show us how we can apply His Word to our life.
People have a lot of different ideas about the Bible and how important it is for us. God gave us His Word to help us and to guide us, and not just to try and attract our attention and then not give us what we need. God tells us plainly what the truth is; He's not trying to hide things or make it difficult to find what we need for our life. God's Word is not just some clickbait that is trying to draw us in with a promise of something it cannot deliver. God's Word is life changing, and what we learn from God's Word can make an amazing difference in our life.
