Dear God, quiet my mind. That’s where I need to start today, because so many things are pulling at my attention and trying to take my peace. Your Word in Psalm 94:19 says, “In the multitude of my anxieties within me, Your comforts delight my soul.” And God, I’m tired of pretending this isn’t a weak spot for me, so I’m asking You to show up right here. I’ve been trying to carry tomorrow today, answering questions nobody’s asked and solving problems that haven’t happened. Help me stay in today. If it’s something I can change, give me the strength to do it, and if it’s something I can’t control, help me leave it in Your hands. I give my mind totally to You today, and always. Lead, guide, and direct me LORD. In Jesus’ Name I pray, Amen.
Have you ever thought about the fact that you can Love God, but not really love the Bible? That might sound strange, but it is possible. There are Christians that go to church, love Jesus with all their hearts, yet don’t read their Bibles.
And while reading your Bible won’t keep you from heaven, it’s an important spiritual practice as Christians we should do.
Those who Love Your instructions have great peace and do not stumble. – Psalm 119:165 (NLT)
Loving God and being thankful for your salvation is awesome. However, getting into the Bible and Loving God’s Word is important too. There’s a lot that can be learned about God by reading His Word. You begin to see Who God is, His Love for you, and His true nature.
So if you haven’t yet, decide that this year, you’ll try to read more of the Bible. Something as simple as listening to a couple of chapters a day on YouTube will get you through the Bible in a year.
