The Joy and Challenge of Reading God's Word

The Bible is an infinite source of truth. You will never exhaust it. The more you know, the more you realize what you don't know. Every morning during my Bible time, as I dig deep into the word, I am thrilled that I have some knowledge, but I realize that I can never exhaust the meaning of the passage I'm studying. Still, God's desire is that we read, probe, observe, examine, evaluate, and apply the Bible to our lives. The message of the Scriptures must grip us personally. Understanding must lead to obedience. How important it is that we who read God's word do so with a love for its great Author and a willingness to obey what he is saying to us!
