Meditate on Scripture

Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.

Psalm 119:105

Today's Bible Reading: Nehemiah 8:1-3.

Many of the difficulties we experience as Christians can be traced to a lack of Bible study and reading, and therefore biblical knowledge. We should not be content to skim through a chapter merely to satisfy our conscience. Hide the Word of God in your heart! A little portion well digested is of greater value to the soul than a lengthy portion scanned hurriedly. Do not be discouraged because you cannot understand it all. Go on reading. As you read, the Holy Spirit will enlighten the passages for you. Reading the Bible has a purifying effect upon the heart and mind. Read the Bible daily and inwardly digest.

Prayer:  Let the enlightenment of the riches of Your Word sink deep within my soul, Father, for I asked in Jesus name. Amen.
