Someone was boasting about knowing all aspects of the Bible and there wasn’t anything new.  Going deeper the individual exclaimed, “I know the Bible so much it doesn’t matter if I read it daily, once a week at church is enough.” 

Well, no one is here is ever going to “judge” that comment, after all we are not to judge at any time.  However, I do have some thoughts concerning this kind of thinking overall.

Personally, I can’t get enough of God’s Word.  His Word is always fresh, exciting and new.

The LORD’s Word is an ever-growing fountain of knowledge, that will continuously download into one’s soul, heart and mind.  The very foundation of God’s purpose is in His Word, for His children to build upon, and is there for all of us to enjoy.

And although we may know Chapter and verse, it is never the same each time one reads it.

For example, when I read from the Bible, there is another aspect, or thought I walk away with.  It may be something that touches my soul in a way it didn’t before.  Or it may be a verse that I needed to “hear” due to circumstances that loom large.  Or…it may be a “new concept” that suddenly jumps out and makes me say, “Wow!”

Reading the Holy Bible is to “hear God’s voice” speaking succinctly and directly to me.  It’s feeling His Spirit guiding me, as I seek His wisdom and peace.

It is learning how to understand life, and all of the nuances it encompasses.  His Word is akin to God’s breath, that catapults me into realms of reality, that assures me that I’m protected and loved.

So maybe for the individual that “only reads God’s Word weekly,” That’s okay for you, but not for me.

I want to feel connected and grow deeper and expand my roots of spirituality to the LORD, Jesus Christ…and His Word.

After all—“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God…” – John 1:1

“Father, thank You for the Word and Your voice and wisdom, may I be ever seeking Your face and Kingdom, today, tomorrow and always, in Jesus’s name, Amen.”
