It’s been said that you are the only bible some people will ever read. That the wisdom, truth, and grace that you absorb from its pages and apply to your life, may speak to others in a divinely ordained way. But what will they find?

 

If we read but do not understand, how can our life be transformed by its truth and grace? If we say, “Faith is such a personal and controversial matter, I really don’t want it to influence my public life,” then what kind of ashamed faith do we have? The ‘hypocrite’ label is quickly affixed to Christians. The truth is, we are all hypocritical in some ways. But what is the very core of your life based on? On what tenets are you consistently, if not perfectly, aligned? So much so, that your life actually ‘speaks’ them without words.

 

That is what God’s Word is intended to do, to transform the mind and soul in a way that it cannot help but escape into our daily lives. Read the Word daily.

 

Learn from it. Love it. Live it out.
