Why Read the Bible?
The short answer is the Bible brings life to our souls.
Let these words wash over your mind and paint a picture of what the Bible does for us…
7The law of the Lord is perfect,
refreshing the soul.
The statutes of the Lord are trustworthy,
making wise the simple.
8 The precepts of the Lord are right,
giving joy to the heart.
The commands of the Lord are radiant,
giving light to the eyes.
9 The fear of the Lord is pure,
enduring forever.
The decrees of the Lord are firm,
and all of them are righteous.
10 They are more precious than gold,
than much pure gold;
they are sweeter than honey,
than honey from the honeycomb.
11 By them your servant is warned;
in keeping them there is great reward.
Here are 8 Reasons to Read God’s Word from Psalm 19:7-11. The Bible…

I don’t know about you, but I could use more of that in my life. Growing Christians regularly read God’s Word. Develop a posture of openness to what God wants to teach you. Here’s today’s challenge. Don’t put off reading the Bible until “life slows down.” (honestly, that may never happen).
