Just a short one… The past days have really been something else. The hustle, the bustle here and there, reading the scriptures was almost a hassle (Thank GOD HE caught me). I’ve heard betimes, people saying that they’re too busy to read the bible. I kind of understand because I was almost there until I remembered that this cannot be traded for anything else. Yeah, we don’t have time to read the scriptures because there’s no space. This our world right now is really fast-paced. Likeeee
However, what we attach importance to, we create time for it. We honestly have no excuse for not reading the bible. When we recognize the significance of the word in our world today, we’ll not miss a day of reading the scriptures. The only reason why we don’t read the scriptures, claiming there’s no time is because it’s not important to us. I’m telling you. What you treasure, what you understand its value cannot be taken lightly and would have time mapped out for it, must. The word really needs to come alive in our hearts. Ahh!
BENEFITS OF THE WORD
The word illuminates our hearts and directs our paths. As a christian, when you read the scriptures first thing in the morning (this is me giving you a tip), you receive instructions for the day and strength for whatever it is you’d be doing that day.
You cannot pray amiss with the word. It’s a most effective way of praying. Praying with the word. Some of us struggle with our prayer life. What we don’t know is that you can be reading the scriptures and begin to pray from there. Prayer and bible study go together. We go about saying nobody can be perfect, all of us always sin. The word is what keeps us in check, as we read the word consistently it enters our soul and prevents us from sinning. That’s why we can call ourselves children of GOD. We have HIS word. If we do not, we aren’t christians honestly.
HE speaks to us through HIS word. It’s the primary way through which we connect with HIM.
P.S. We don’t read the bible as literature. Please always ask the HOLY SPIRIT for understanding before reading. It’s a game changer.
See you next time, byee.
