Matthew 4:4 says 'But he answered, “It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God."
First of all we need to think about what the Bible is, it is the Word of God! Hebrews 4:12 'For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart.'
So we know it is important to study God's word, now when do we find the time to study? With today's technologies, we have several opportunities to have God's word at our fingertips. Between Smart phones, Tablets, and Cd's we can have God's word with us wherever we go; Read or Listen to Bible studies and devotionals while you wait at the Doctor's office, at breaks at school or work, riding on the bus or driving, even at home while doing housework or yard work, we really have no excuse for Not studying or hearing God's word!
Some people get up a bit earlier to make time with the Lord, others make time during the day or before going to bed; whatever works best for you as long as you make the time. I guarantee if you make time for the Lord everything else will fall into place! We all seem to make time for our favorite TV show or whatever your favorite thing to do is, so how about making Bible study one of your favorite things to do.
My husband gave me a commentary when we were dating and as I read it along with my Bible ... Wow... I couldn't believe how it made the scriptures come alive, it made it so much easier to understand. From that day on I was hooked and have studied ever since. My mother in-law found that she read two pages in her Bible each day and would ask God to show her something in those two pages ... It doesn't take long to read two pages, you may even want to start with one page. After a while you will hunger for more and enjoy reading.
My friend, as we study God's Word, our personal relationship with God grows deeper and deeper, It empowers us to live for the Lord in every aspect of our lives. Something this important should be our number one priority!
