Dear Young Christian:
“As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the Word, that ye may grow thereby” (1 Peter 2:2).
In these calendar pages I often emphasize the need to read the Bible, but I feel I cannot emphasize it enough. Make it the constant habit of your daily routine, and you will experience spiritual growth and become rooted and grounded in the truth of Scripture. You will never grow, you will never make progress, you will never develop as a Christian, if you neglect your Bible. With purpose of heart cleave to the Lord, and let one evidence of your cleaving be that from now on you will never permit a day to go by, that you do not spend some time reading the Word of God; and as you open it, lift your eyes to Him who wrote it, and ask God to reveal His mind and will to you in it. Then seek grace to walk in obedience to His will. There is no other way of blessing. I recently asked someone what they thought Christian young people needed today. They replied: “They need to read their Bible.”
Your Christian Friend,
Jim Hyland
