“I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ,
the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that
you may know him better.”
Ephesians 1:17
How do you read the bible?
Is it to gain more facts and figures so that you are
really good at trivia?
Is it in order to have something to add at a mid-week
bible study?
When you go to your bible with the intention of
learning something new about God, something that makes you more in love with
Him, then you make your reading profitable and meaningful.
Open the pages to find God.
As you read, listen to the Holy Spirit as He reveals
the Lord through what you read.
Too often we open God’s love letter to man for all the
wrong reasons.
We go in looking for ammunition to shoot someone down.
We open the pages hoping to strengthen OUR opinion.
We enter searching for Sunday’s message forgetting
completely about the Father’s heart eager to meet us there.
Instead, try entering with the intention of growing
more in love with the author.
Put aside the agendas and the other reasons.
There are a thousand and one reasons but none compares
to finding the Father in the pages.
