Is it dusty?

If your bible looks like this.........

you are, according to yesterday's post, probably not snacking enough....and you may be eating way too much junk food.

How you read your bible isn't as important as the fact that you are, indeed, reading it.  Let's face it, reading is hard for some people.  And (gasp) many find the bible to be not only a difficult read, but a confusing one as well.  So, they don't read it.  Yes, there are tons of study guides out there, and reading plans galore.  The bottom line is that reading the word is that time where you are reading it so that you can learn God's ways and get closer to Him through the scripture.  There is a wide variety of ways folks read the bible:

• Some folks read a chapter a day
• some folks read just a few verses
• some read out loud, others are silent readers
• some write it out as they are reading
• some try to memorize what they are reading
• some find it overwhelming and really struggle to read regularly
• some trust that, whatever they are reading, the Spirit will provide what they need to hear that day

The point is.....it's your bible, it's you who needs to snack on the life food that comes from it, and it's you that has to figure out the best and most fulfilling way for you to read it.  If it's a verse a day, isn't that better than no verses a day?

Just read it so you don't have to write in the dust.
