Message from Scripture: 9/21/2021

 

Our message from Scripture today comes from Psa. 119:15-16; “I will meditate on your precepts and fix my eyes on your ways. I will delight in your statutes; I will not forget your word.”

 

How long does it take to read the Bible through? On average, it takes 90 hours to read the entire Bible. That is one hour a day for 3 months, or just 30 minutes a day for 6 months, or just 15 minutes a day for 12 months. How much time do we spend in other endeavors each day? The Bible is not a dry, outdated book! With the right attitude of heart, it’s fresh, relevant, and offers answers to life’s problems.

 

The Bible is God’s word of life to us. It’s our choice whether we take advantage of it or not, but why do so many choose not to? It’s available in so many formats, yet so many ignore it. That only causes problems doing so, and can keep us out of heaven.

One might say, “Isn’t it too late in the year to start being a daily Bible reader?” You can start anytime, at any point in Scripture, and find blessings for life beyond imagination. One verse a day can offer God blessings, and the more you read, the more you grow. The more you understand and apply it, the better life you will have. Think of all the activities you have engaged in and wound up saying, “Well, that was a waste of time!” That will never be true of time spent with God’s word.

 

It’s not just a book about life; it’s the book for life. Be sure of your life and relationship with God; read His word, daily. It is His instructions to us for living. “If your law had not been my delight, I would have perished in my affliction. I will never forget your precepts, for by them you have given me life” (Psa. 119:92). God bless.
