How much do you read your bible?
When some teenagers get a love letter from their boyfriend or girlfriend, they read it over and over until the paper is creased and worn and practically falling apart from overuse.
The bible is like our love letter from God, telling us how much he loves us and also what we need to do to get to heaven and to make him happy with us. But are we reading our bibles as much as we should be? Are the pages of our bibles falling apart because we are using it so much?
I know that sometimes it can be really hard to read our bible as we think we don't have time or we don't want to, or we don't understand it. But even though sometimes we really don't want to, we need to keep reading our bibles.
The bible is the word of God and the bible says that it sharper than any two edged sword. This book is powerful and God wants us to read it. We can ask God to help us understand what we read and for him to reveal scriptures to us and he will.
Reading your bible everyday can have an amazing influence on our lives and our attitudes as God works through it to speak to us. Some bits may seem boring at first but keep reading and as your hunger for God's word grows, you will find yourself wanting to read more and more.
You won't know what you've been missing until you read it. So, is your bible used as much as that love letter? |
