Family Bible study can be a powerful tool...
|
Considering what a powerful privilege and blessing the Bible brings to us, why does it often seem so difficult to consistently and conscientiously read it? We seem to struggle, as individuals and families, to read God’s word as frequently as we should. Often unavoidable obstacles impede our progress in developing consistent Bible study habits.
Our busy and demanding lifestyles are often a burden to effective Bible study. Little things get in the way and we fail to see see how studying the word of God would help take care of those little things. The Bible has the answers to our daily struggles. In his writings Peter mentions people who “stumble at the word.” (1 Peter 2:8) Today the ideologies, philosophies and wisdom of the world seem to be overtaking the teachings and the word of God. The more you study the word of God, the more you will gain an understanding of God’s word and his will. If you feast from the lavish fortune found in the pages of the Lord’s treasure house, God will satisfy your soul with a wealth of blessings like you have never known before. |
"Perhaps the greatest blessing offered us through the Bible is the power it gives us to hear the voice of the Lord. This is the principle and primary reason for reading the scriptures." |
