*Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path. -Psalms 119:105
The greater your proportion of your day -of your life-spent hidden in quiet, in reflection, in prayer, and in study of God's word. The greater will be the effectiveness, the impact, the power of the part of your life that shows.When we spend time with Christ, He supplies us with strength and encourages us in the pursuit of His ways.
How?
1. Develop the habit of drawing near to God.
"And Abraham gat up early in the morning to the place where he stood before the Lord." -Genesis 19:27
"My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O LORD, in the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee, and will look up." -Psalms 5:3
"And in the morning, rising up a great while before day, he (Jesus) went out, and departed into a solitary place, and there prayed." -Mark 1:35
All three of these men went to the Lord in the morning, at the start of their day.
As I mention in the last post, its important to put the Lord at the top of your 'To Do List', and why not start your day in the word of God, that sounds good to me! :)
2.Design a personal time for drawing near to God.
Plan a time and place for you to Study and meditate on God's word, a time where you can REALLY sit down and study the word and take it to heart.
A lot of times I use to quick read, especially when I had school work waiting to be finished.
Don't quick read, take the time to study and meditate on it.
The Bible will guide you and bless you, its the book of life!
Here are some reasons why its good to read your bible:
~The bible keeps you from bad behavior.
"Thy word have I hiding in my heart that I might not sin against thee." Psalms 119:11
~The bible leads you in the right direction.
"Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path." Psalms 119:105
~The bible guides you in the truth and prepares you to serve others.
" All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: that the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works." 2 Timothy 3:16-17
~The Bible sharpens your discernment and judgement.
"For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart." Hebrews 4:12
I want to encourage everyone out there to read your Bible. Even if its just ten minutes, God will be pleased to see that you care and want to learn how to live a life to please Him. He will bless you! :)
Read God's Word. Start anywhere. The only wrong way to read the bible is to not read it!
