A couple of days ago, I had my bible in English class along with my other school supplies. I had everything but the one thing I needed - my English binder. I turned to the girl next to me. "Well, you've got the only thing you'll ever need, Brian," she said jokingly, looking at my bible. Suddenly it hit me.
Isn't God the only thing we'll ever need? The thing with our modern lives is: we are always so busy. We are always hurried, trying to get somewhere. I know I am. Do you have a set bible-reading time in your busy schedule? It's true - the Word of God should be a priority in our lives and most of the time, it's not. It's not for me a lot of the time, and I need to work on that.
I've been reading
The Good Life from Trip Lee. Near the beginning of the book, he made a point on how real our "Daily Bread" is. We need to constantly be "eating" or else we will be spiritually dead. We have breakfast, lunch, and dinner for our physical bodies - and maybe even a bedtime snack.
This should one the standard for time in God's Word. Trip made a statement on how he can read and be spiritually full at eight in the morning, but by one in the afternoon, he can be close to falling into temptation. This is how read we need our Daily Bread.
Do not be spiritually dead. Make spending time in God's Word a priority.
