Where do we go from here? Each one of us is in agreement
that we must read and reflect on Scripture. Hearing sermons once a week is
good, but this is not enough. Attending a cell group is beneficial, but not
sufficient. Sunday school is enlightening, but we need more. The Word of God
deserves prominence in our lives. The Psalmist wrote: “Oh how I love your law!
It is my meditation all the day.” How wonderful it would be for all followers
of Christ to have such passion for the Word!
Those who, in the past, have been deeply
immersed in God’s Word but have let this pursuit fade know what they need to
do. My challenge here is for the individual who is new to seeking God. Set
aside ten minutes a day to read one chapter of Scripture. Begin with the book
of Mark or even Genesis. Read. Think about what the passage has to say about
God, about what He’s done for you and about living for Him. God will meet you.
He will teach you. He will shape you.
