In my last post I presented some Old Testament examples illustrating the proper attitude of contacting God’s word—an attitude of coming to receive the life supply—as seen in Moses living on everything that proceeds out from the mouth of God (Deut. 8:3), the Psalmist tasting God’s words and being enlivened by them (Psa. 119:103, 93),

Have your ever found yourself with little appetite for reading the Bible? Or have you ever wondered how you could receive more spiritual help from your reading? In my previous blog on Practical Points on Bible Reading, I pointed out that in reading the Bible we should have the attitude of coming to receive life

One of the most helpful ways to prepare your heart to contact the Lord in His word is to speak and sing hymns and spiritual songs (Col. 3:16). I often do this in my time with the Lord in the morning. In this post I’ll share my favorite hymn for this purpose. But, not

As a reader of the Bible for many years, I can truly say that I love the Bible! As the Psalmist said, “How sweet are Your words to my taste! Sweeter than honey to my mouth.” (Psa. 119:103). I feel washed and refreshed as I read its pages—even for just a few minutes, especially when

Do you begin the day with God? I am learning to and I hope you will also. One of my deepest impressions growing up was seeing my godly mother sitting in her special chair each morning reading and studying her Bible. Rather than being distasteful to me, it was very attractive. Her pattern engraved on
