Bible Reading Part Two
[this series is based on a devotional by Stacy Ortiz entitled 'Why Should I Read the Bible?']
Why should I read the Bible?
"As for God, his way is perfect; the word of the Lord is flawless..." 2 Samuel 22:31a (NIV)
How can I not want to? If I have something in my hand that is absolutely perfect, how can I not want to examine it and absorb it? Perfection. How often do we see that on this Earth? It is so far beyond my scope of understanding, and yet the HOLY SPIRIT will help me to understand. Amazing.
The RSV translates that second part as: "the promise of the LORD proves true." The Bible is full of HIS promises. Why would I not want to read them and claim them as my own? Perfect promises from the LORD of the Universe. Wouldn't I want to know what each one of them holds?
