Would This Motivate You to Read Your Bible More Often?

This 1-minute devotion asks a very important question...What will you answer?

The phone! The doorbell! Something on TV! A forgotten responsibility!

All of these things vie for my attention when I try to read the Bible. And some of you have even more interruptions than I have since I'm an empty nester.

But someone once asked me this question: If you earned $1000 every day you read your Bible for one hour, how many days would you miss?

Bible reading offers:
  • a closer relationship with the Creator of the universe
  • increased faith, guidance, knowledge
  • and much more! 
Yet most of us fail to prioritize it as we should. The Psalmist has an important message for us:

The decrees of the Lord are firm, and all of them are righteous. They are more precious than gold, than much pure gold (Psalm 19:9-10).

The law from [the Lord's] mouth is more precious to me than thousands of pieces of silver and gold (Psalm 119:72).

My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When can I go and meet with God? (Psalm 42:2)

Back to the question: We make time for things we think are important. And we should value time in God's Word more than financial gain. 

Will you join me today in praying for a heart that thirsts for the living God more than anything else?
💙💙💙
 
Psalm 119 is dedicated to praising God's Word and explaining its many benefits. I think you'll enjoy the one-minute devotion How I Delight in Your Commands.

If you own Wisdom for Life, you'll find some additional inspiration and insights by reading or re-reading Day 29. 

The Wisdom for Life devotional features 100 one-minute devotions from Psalms and Proverbs. Each devotion also features a helpful "For Further Thought" section.
