Must be important...

So I read the final Harry Potter book in less than a week. It was 759 pages long. I started reading the Bible 3 months and 20 days ago. I have read only 469 pages. I just finished 2ND Kings, I am very excited about Chronicles!!! I think the amount of time it takes to read the Bible just goes to show how important it is that we do in fact read it. Although Harry Potter was an awesome book that I thoroughly enjoyed, it was in no way important --so it was not opposed. In fact, it distracted me from things that were important. The devil loves to distract us. I have found that when I allow distractions of any sort to keep me from reading the Bible every day I open myself up for his lies. I'm thinking that is the point. God speaks to us through the Bible, through His written, unchanging truth. As we read it and store His truth in our hearts we become stronger in HIM. The devil certainly doesn't want that.

What keeps you from reading the Bible every single day? Is it hard to understand?--it's supposed to be--we are supposed to read it anyway. God will explain in the time and to the degree that we are meant to understand. What could possibly be more important than learning the truth that God specifically wrote for you? A TV show? I have never seen a show (not even " Lost " ) more exciting than the old testament!

I challenge you, pick up your Bible and read it every day. Read it with expectation! You wont be disappointed.

Be blessed my friends, I love you,
