Your Word is a lamp to my feet, and a light to my path. (Psalms 119:105 MKJV)

Don’t just think of the Bible as a good book to read when things aren’t going well with your life; it’s not a quick fix to address your problems, but a testimony of light leading to the discovery of God’s will and steadfast love. Moreover, it’s not an inconvenience to study it, but rather a delightful undertaking, because it connects us to the voice of God, and awakens our minds to His plans for us.

Indeed, the Bible constitutes a way of life and is a light for living. In it, you’ll find hope for better things to come, and healing which paves the way to a brighter future. You’ll find virtues by which to live, and wisdom that has stood the test of time. But the greatest treasure you’ll find in its pages is the testimony of Jesus Christ. That, alone, should be enough to justify why we should make it a priority to read the Bible regularly.
