I imagine alot of you are like me. You probably have some sort of devotion book that you read from daily. We wake up, pull open our Bible and read the portion of scripture designated and maybe a small caption or story.
Many don't go past the daily scripture often and they probably don't pick up the Bible again until the next day when once again it's time to do our daily devotion. Why do we do that? Well, I would venture to guess one reason is time.
I would support that it is worth taking the time when we discover that we might learn a thing or two. I always do but are we really going to reap the benefits of growth if we dont dig deep into the Word? How can we gain any knowledge if we just read a verse or two a day? Don't get me wrong, I do not want to discourage anyone and I certainly don't want to give the enemy an advantage but let's look at it this way.
If my favorite department store (I won't mention names but it begins with an M) offered me 30 minutes to take any items I wanted free of charge, do yo think I'm going to go ten minutes and then stop? Don't think so. I am going to soak up every minute, every second getting things I can use, or offer to others less fortunate. So it is with the Word of God. Why would I only give God ten minutes if I had thirty?
I should want to use the time get information that is beneficial to me, information that will grow me but also information that I can share with others who may not know Christ. It is up to us to be in the word, to learn the word, to spread the word.
Faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the Word about Christ. Romans 10:17
