I started 25 days late but I can identify so many pros of reading the Bible in a year. I’ve never done it before and here’s what I’ve learned so far:
- 1. People who are busier than I am find time for it.
- 2. People who are in the same season of life as I am have done it.
- 3. My spirit is benefiting from it: I am being filled with God’s goodness daily.
- 4. It’s easier when it’s done one small dose at a time: I get to practice self-control.
- 5. My intellect is benefiting from it. I’m learning new things daily.
- 6. God is speaking to me through His Word. This is probably the most important part of all. I heard that if God is not speaking to you, you should talk to Him about something He cares about. Oh, He cares about His Word!
- 7. I am being convicted of my faults. The more I’m faced with the holiness of God the more I am reminded to be like Him. This morning I repented from complaining. I started to count how many times the Israelites were complaining in the desert then I read that they were really complaining about God and not really about their leaders. Ouch hallelujah.
- 8. It helps me teach my children better. The more I understand the Bible, the better I can teach my precious children.
- 9. It improves my mood. It’s impossible to be in God’s Word and remain in a bad mood. He’s the lifter of my head, in His presence there is fullness of joy.
- 10. My heart is filled with thankfulness.
