I have to admit, I am quite horrible about studying my Bible every day. It’s not that I don’t want to, but it seems that for one reason or another it gets set aside one day at a time until I haven’t read my Bible for a week or more. Then I determine to get back to it, and I do for a few days, but then once again, little by little, it fades away.
So what am I doing wrong? I know that I ought to be in the Word more often, and it ought to be a more important part of my life, and I ought to use the word ought less, but I don’t know what I should change. Fortunately I have a close friend who reads her Bible almost, well, religiously. I’ve watched her do her daily Bible study occasionally, and the focus is just incredible. I can’t help but wish I had that type of dedication to the Word of God. The truth is, I can’t. On my own, I will continue to fail in my daily reading. Even my friend has told me that once in a while it feels more like a habit than a desire to learn more. On our own, we will fail. But God is so good that He sent a helper. We can do all things through Christ who gives us strength. Yes, even study His Word. I hope to meet God tomorrow early in the morning, and start my day with Him so that He is at the front of my attention from when I rise to when I fall asleep. And I hope to continue to do so.
