Don’t Dry Up…

How long has it been since you have read your Bible? A few hours, days, weeks, etc? I’m not talking about browsing the internet and finding the occasional scriptures posted. I’m talking about pulling out the Great Book and letting God lead the conversation through His Word!

It had been awhile since I had opened my Bible, before last night. I don’t know why, but I just hadn’t been feeling led to read (not that we should wait for a confirmation to read our Bibles), and every time I did, I would get really tired and I wouldn’t get anything out of my reading. That started to frustrate me because the Bible is usually so exciting to me that I’m either laughing, crying, or turning the pages in suspense.

Be on the look out for this kind of sneaky attack from our enemy. A Christian that is not being fed with the Word is weak and helpless against bigger issues. Last night, I said, “God, I’m starving for Your Word. I need to be fed, and I bind any power or principality that would stop me from hearing You. Please let these words bring revelation to my spirit, and let these things take root in my spirit.”

I opened up and went to where I felt God was leading me, and I was not disappointed. I feasted on the Word of God, and I feel much better now. I’ve gotten a little skinny from starving myself so it’s going to take a few more meals to plump me up again, but the main thing is that we are all on a steady diet!

    There’s a verse that I could call my life verse because that verse shows my relationship with the Word…

    My son, give attention to my words;
    Incline your ear to my sayings.
    Do not let them depart from your eyes;
    Keep them in the midst of your heart;
    For they are life to those who find them,
    And health to all their flesh. [Prov 4:20-22]

    But with regard to what you wrote here…I want to emphasize the words…“DO NOT LET THEM DEPART FROM YOUR EYES…”.
