So this year I resolved to read my Bible cover to cover, but more importantly I resolved to take that reading daily; daily doses if you will. Twice daily; once in the morning before I get out of bed and when I return to my bed to sleep. Like medicine; it is so good for my soul.
Sunday was a rough night for me, so I skipped my Sunday night reading and Monday morning I slept and didn't get my morning passages in. My Monday was AWFUL! I was irritated and easily frustrated at work and it made me feel so ugly.
Monday evening I got back into my routine and Tuesday morning I was up reading first thing and you know what I had a much better day. Now I want to be very clear I had many struggles and "irritations" at work on Tuesday, but I had my daily dose of His word and I was able to handle what came at me because I was dependent on Him and reading His book of instructions on how to handle life. Reading His word keeps the Holy Spirit burning inside of you; it feeds the fire.
I cannot tell you how important it is to be in His word daily. At least once a day if not more! In order to grow you must know His word. In order to help others find His Kingdom you must envelope yourself in His word.
Folks get your daily dose(s)!
He speaks to me with His word. He loves me with His word. He comforts me with His word. He instructs/disciplines me with His word.
Grace to you!
