Reading The Bible – Part 2

“His delight is in the law of the Lord; and in His law doth he meditate day and night” (Psalm 1:1-2).

Here are some further responses to yesterday’s question, Why is it we can read a three hundred page novel with ease, but we find it hard sometimes to schedule time each day to read a chapter from the Bible?

A believer who is cold in their soul will find the Bible dry. I know because I’ve been there before.

A novel will appeal to the flesh.

If you are not walking with God you will find even a Christian novel more exciting than the Bible.

What we feed on affects us greatly. If we feed on what is not good then that is what we will grow to like. We won’t have an appetite for spiritual food.

It takes spiritual energy and discipline to read the Living Word.

These observations came from a variety of young people of various ages. Lots of good points to ponder aren’t there?
