"Behold, the days are coming," says the Lord God, "That I will send a famine on the land, Not a famine of bread, Nor a thirst for water, But of hearing the words of the Lord." (Amos 8:11)
We as children of God take advantage of being able to go to church every Wednesday and Sunday and having the word feed to us by our pastors. We often go to church and get to hear the word of God and don't take the time to read our Bibles at home. In this scripture God talks about sending a famine to the land, and not a famine of food or water, but of hearing the preached word of God.
But, as God's children, this should not affect us they way it will the common, unsaved man. Why, shouldn't it affect as bad? Because we should know enough of the word of God that we can get what we need for that day. We should, as the Bible states, have the word of God hidden in our hearts. When you hide the word of God in your heart, no man can take it from you. If Bibles were to become non-existant, then we should still be able to quote scripture after scripture. We need to dwell more on the study of God's word and getting it instilled in us. Rather than taking it for advantage and putting off the reading of our Bibles. the more we study our Bible, the more we know and the stronger we are as Christians. The stronger we become as Christians the harder it becomes to "shake" or have our faith in God waivered.
Continue to read and study the Bible and grow in God. When we no longer need to grow in God we need to become worried about ourselves, because we will never be able to know enough to stop learning about God and what he can and will do in our lives.
