Thanks Danny, However my post was to be a series of many quotes I had accumulated over a period of years from different sources and I neglected to include the proper footnotes.
In further posts I will give credit where credit is due. Footnotes are included below...

The study of the scriptures is the means, divinely ordained,
to bring us into closer connection with our creator,

It is the medium of communication between God and us.2.

Read it to be wise.
Obey it to be happy.
It will bring light to your mind and blessings to your life.3.
