Get Into The Good Book...

I read Turning Points magazine by Dr. David Jeremiah each month.  I have found that each issue contains several articles with practical insights to help on the journey.  I was reading an article today about becoming a more devoted person when it comes to reading the scripture daily.  Dr. Jeremiah lists 10 reasons why we should read "the Good Book."  I want to share those with you today.

  1. The Bible will reveal who you are (Hebrews 4:12) and who you need to become (2 Timothy 3:16).
  2. The Bible is the most trustworthy book on earth, written not by men alone but by God through human authors (2 Peter 1:20-21).
  3. The Bible will provide guidance for your daily life (Psalm 119:105).
  4. The Bible will keep you from sinning (Psalm 119:11).
  5. The Bible can create faith in your heart to meet a specific need (Romans 10:17).
  6. The Bible can lead us to salvation in Christ (2 Timothy 3:15).
  7. The Bible is an offensive weapon against the lies of Satan (Ephesians 6:17).
  8. The Bible always accomplishes the purposes for which it was given (Isaiah 55:11).
  9. The Bible's truths will endure forever (Isaiah 40:8).
  10. The Bible's truths are perfect, sure, right, pure, clean, true, and righteous (Psalm 19:7-9).

I hope these truths will inspire you to drive into the Word today.  God Bless!!!
