Drawing Near To The Lord By Reading His Word

Sometimes life can get so busy and hectic that we lose track of time.  Sometimes I get busy and I still feel as though I haven't really accomplished very much at all.  Our time is precious.  We all have a limited amount of time to live on this planet.

It is a wise thing to consider how we are spending our time.  Sometimes we waste time by doing things that really have no real value.  We should always set some time aside to get alone with the Lord with our Bibles open and listen to what He is saying to us.  We should think on Bible verses that we have memorized.

The Bible is God's Word and we should be reading it and thinking on it often.  Psalm 119:105 says,

"Your Word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path."

When we study and read God's Word we learn more about who God is and what He is like.  We also see how He worked in people's lives throughout the Scriptures and we will be better able to see how is working in our lives as well.

Sometimes we don't spend enough time reading God's Word and thinking about it.  I confess I probably don't read the Bible enough.  I want to learn more about the Lord and His will for my life.  The Lord will speak to us through His Word and through the indwelling Holy Spirit who dwells within everyone that has placed their faith in Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior.

Our relationship with the Lord should be the most important relationship that we have.  God wants us to draw near to Him and submit to Him.  We must humble ourselves and surrender ourselves to Him.
Let's continue to read the Bible and study it.  May we continue to draw near to the Lord that He will draw near to us.

Lord,
We praise Your Name.
Help us to read the Bible more.
Help us to understand what You are saying to us through Your Holy Spirit.
In Jesus Name we pray,
Amen.
