Read It
Last week we took up the importance of reading our Bibles. Here is some more on the subject…
One great reason for the failure of so many Christians is they do not read their Bible. They seem to have no appetite for it. A chapter, morning and evening, seems to be all they think needful. If they treated their bodies to such scant nourishment, they would soon be in a state of collapse. The great thing is to cultivate an appetite for the Word of God. Read it a lot, and mingle your reading with lots of prayer for light and help, and for grace to make it good to your soul.
“Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in His law doth he meditate day and night” (Psalm 1:1-2).
Carry a pocket edition or portion constantly with you. Don’t be ashamed to be seen reading it. Let it be your counsel. Wisdom is there, Light is there — EVERYTHING you need is there. It is the voice of God in the power of the Holy Spirit, to guide you each day.
