Do We Give Up on Bible Reading?

Why do we give up on bible reading?

John 1:1-5 New Living Translation (NLT)

In the beginning the Word already existed.
    The Word was with God,
    and the Word was God.
He existed in the beginning with God.
God created everything through him,
    and nothing was created except through him.
The Word gave life to everything that was created,
    and his life brought light to everyone.
The light shines in the darkness,
    and the darkness can never extinguish it.

If the word is God, why don’t we spend time in the word or with God. We are so distracted by our own “busy” lives that we forget the true life we have is in Jesus Christ. Desiring God does a good job of elaborating this point. Click on the link above to read the article and take a moment to meditate on the prayer below.

Stay blessed.

Lord, your word is perfect, sure, right, pure, clean, and true. By it, you revive souls, make the simple wise, rejoice hearts, enlighten eyes, and mold us into righteousness (Psalm 19:7–9). Transform the words in front of me into virtue and grace within me, conforming me to the image of your Son. Let your word fall on my heart like a hammer, breaking away what is sinful and refining what is righteous. Shape not only my mind, but all of me, to love what Christ loves and to hate what he hates. Amen.
