*DAILY DEW 15TH/FEBRUARY/2022* *The Bible: The Guide to Christ* _Key Bible Text:_ *"You have your heads in your Bibles constantly because you think you'll find eternal life there. But you miss the forest for the trees. These Scriptures are all about me (JESUS Christ)!."* (John 5:39 (The Message)) _Bible Insight:_ Desire: I want to read my bible. Plan: I'll read through the book of Acts today. Discipline: Picks up bible and flips to Acts. Gets tired at chapter 2. Gets up to stretch, sits back and continues to read. Feels sleepy at chapter 7, gets up again, sprinkles water on his face, sits back to continue to read. At chapter 14, sees something remarkable that he's never seen like that before! Keeps reading with much curiosity. Gets to chapter 20 and feels sleepy again. Gets a gum to chew to stay alert. Reads till the end. *** In the matter of reading your Bible, always remember this: It isn't sin alone that hinders spiritual growth. Watch those legitimate things that fight against your attention towards spiritual things and learn to put them in their proper place. God first! When He comes first, nothing else can distract you or hinder growth. If you are praying that God should make you to be like Christ, or that you want to draw closer to God, remember: From Genesis to Revelation, the Bible has a central message: God's plan of Redemption accomplished in Christ. If you miss this, the bible remains a closed book, even a mystery. Christ is the Light of the Scriptures! Your prayer to be closer to God, or to be more like Christ, is only answered as you discipline yourself to be consistent with your personal Bible reading and studying scriptures. Selah! _MEDITATION:_ *You said you will study your bible and pray everyday but you missed a day or two and you gave up. A lot has been said about consistency but do you know that consistency is also about CONTINUING even when you fail sometimes? Learn to CONTINUE from where you STOPPED.
