Have you listened to people give reasons why they can’t read their Bible? The one reason that is given more than any other is: “I don’t have time.”

But, what if the doctor told you to stay in bed five hours each day or you will die in 3 months — do you suppose you would find time to do so? Of course you would!

Well, what if I tell you that God wants you to learn His Will and that to fail to do so leads to spiritual death. Why can we not exercise the same good judgment in spiritual matters that we do in physical matters? God said, “Be still, and know that I am God…” (Psa. 46:10). Jesus set a good example for us in Mark, chapter one. After a busy day, with people pressing all around Him, the Bible says He got up the next morning before day and went out alone to a deserted place to pray.

Take time — make time — everyday to pray and read your Bible.
