Personal Bible study is the best way to sink your roots deeply into the faith.  You’ll be like a tree planted by rivers of water that brings forth its fruit in season.

From Psalm 1:2-3:  “But their delight is in the law of the Lord, and on his law they meditate day and night.  They are like trees planted by streams of water, which yield their fruit in its season, and their leaves do not wither.  In all that they do, they prosper.”

David Jeremiah (born 1941) is an American pastor and Christian author.

The Bible is a bottomless source of nourishment for becoming like Christ.

From Ephesians 5:8-9:  “For once you were darkness, but now in the Lord you are light.  Walk as children of light, for the fruit of the light is found in all that is good and right and true.”

The friend in my adversity I shall always cherish most.  I can better trust those who helped to relieve the gloom of my dark hours.

Hold fast to the Bible.  To the influence of this Book we are indebted.

Ulysses S. Grant (1822-1885) was the 18th President of the United States.

The Bible is not man’s word about God, but God’s Word about man.

From Genesis 1:1-4:  “When God began to create the heavens and the earth, the earth was complete chaos, and darkness covered the face of the deep, while a wind from God swept over the face of the waters.  Then God said, ‘Let there be light,’ and there was light.  And God saw that the light was good, and God separated the light from the darkness.”

John Barth (born 1930) is an American writer who is best known for his works of fiction.

God is ever wanting to add to us, to develop us, to enlarge us, to teach us more and more.

From 1 Peter 5:10:  “And after you have suffered for a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to His eternal glory in Christ, will Himself restore, support, strengthen, and establish you.“

A. B. (Albert Benjamin) Simpson (1843-1919) was a Canadian-born pastor, theologian, and Christian author.  He founded the Christian and Missionary Alliance.

Although every verse in the Bible is inspired by God and given to us for our benefit, we won’t hear His voice unless we make His Word a priority.

From Deuteronomy 8:2-3:  “Remember the long way that the Lord your God has led you these forty years in the wilderness, in order to humble you, testing you to know what was in your heart, whether or not you would keep His commandments.  He humbled you by letting you hunger, then by feeding you with manna, with which neither you nor your ancestors were acquainted, in order to make you understand that one does not live by bread alone but by every word that comes from the mouth of the Lord.”

Joy is the great note all throughout the Bible.

From Philippians 4:4:  “Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, Rejoice.”

Oswald Chambers (1874-1917) was a Scottish evangelist and Christian teacher.  Following his death from an illness while in Egypt during World War I, his wife took on the task of transcribing the detailed notes she had written from his lectures and sermons.  Gertrude Hobbs Chambers’ efforts resulted in the publication in 1924 of MY UTMOST FOR HIS HIGHEST.  I frequently read from this devotional, and it has greatly deepened my faith and understanding of God’s Word.

God’s voice isn’t all that difficult to hear.  It’s right there, ink on paper.  Count on it–that book will never lead you astray.

From Psalm 38:15:  “But it is for you, O Lord, that I wait; it is you, O Lord my God, who will answer.”

From 1 Peter 2:2-3:  “Like newborn infants, long for the pure, spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow into salvation—if indeed you have tasted that the Lord is good.”

Infancy of man’s faith

Absent righteous skills

Fed with Word’s nourishment

Holy Spirit fills

 

Grappling divine lessons

Bread of Life above

Christ breathes as Living Word

Grace imparts with love

 

Learning faith’s elements

Son of Man preaches

One parable each time

Our Lord’s Word teaches

 

Practicing what is learned

Holy design’s growth

Faith in Word progresses

Maturity’s oath

 

Accepting Word’s goodness

Darkness now ignored

Righteous living obeys

Mercy comes on board

From Hebrews 5:13-14:  “For everyone who lives on milk, being still an infant, is unskilled in the word of righteousness.  But solid food is for the mature, for those whose faculties have been trained by practice to distinguish good from evil.”
