What
does a Christian need to equip them for the fight ahead? Faith is a tool in our
armoury that is imperative to drive us forward and it feeds our hope, which in
turn brings glory to our God. A win-win all around. So what must we do to add
to our faith, ignite our hope, whilst fueling our zeal to get on with what
really matters, bringing glory to our heavenly Father? The very first place for
us to start is to hear God speak to us, and how do we do that? We read our
bibles, I cannot stress enough how important this is. It’s the time and place
where you allow God to speak to you without any distraction. Just you and Him
as the Spirit of God nourishes, comforts and admonishes, whilst the words from
the page comes to life and ministers straight into the core of our hearts. It’s
rather beautiful, even if at times, we are softened to tears as we seek
forgiveness for our sin and folly, those split second choices that speak of
death and not life. But the beauty of reading the Bible has such a profoundly
brilliant outcome in shaping our minds, as we grow in the statue of Jesus
Christ our King. This is what it’s all about, having our minds transformed as
we begin to work out what that good, acceptable, and perfect will of God looks
like. In order to achieve this objective we must read our bibles. Bible reading
is God speaking to us, whilst praying is us speaking to God. Maybe it’s time to
start a challenge, a Bible reading challenge, nominate someone to read a book
of the bible and then they pass the challenge onto the next person and so on.
Christian
we need to hear the voice of our heavenly Father, read your bibles, it will add
to your faith and ignite your hope. Of this truth I am 100% persuaded, no ifs
and buts. I would encourage all to be like little children and allow the Word
to simply wash you. The intent must be one of a child running excitedly into
the arms of his father where there is safety. Whatever you need to do, set time
aside in the day to read you’re Bibles.
“The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the love of
God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all.”
