Devouring the Word of God

We read the bible to Simon each night before he goes to bed. I'm not sure how much he takes in of the content, but he must be taking something in as the Bible is his favourite book on the bookshelf.
At first his Bible was on the bottom shelf of the book shelf, but it got pulled out a lot and chewed on, so it got moved higher. But he still pulls it down and 'reads'* it, more than any other book he has.
As a result his Bible is looking a bit battered, the spine is broken and there is a torn page (this is the only torn page in any of his books - he mainly has paper books), but I've decided this is a fantastic problem and I hope that the Bible continues to be his favourite book. We'd be stoked if you could pray for this.

*Simon thinks reading is flipping through the pages in any random order and often lots of pages at once.

I'm thrilled he has a hunger for the Word.
