“Many believers think their daily Bible reading does little because they forget what they read by afternoon.
But the Word of God does not work only through memory.
It works through formation.
Line by line, day after day, the Scriptures begin to reshape the mind, expose the heart, and train the soul to think like God thinks. …”

“… Paul admonishes the Colossians: ‘Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly … with all wisdom’ (Col. 3:16). How are we of the twentieth century to do this? By soaking ourselves in the Scriptures …
Again, it is to be feared that many who profess to be Christ’s never learn wisdom, through failure to attend sufficiently to God’s written Word. Cranmer’s Prayer Book lectionary (which all Anglicans are meant to follow) will take one through the Old Testament once, and the New Testament twice, every year. William Gouge, the Puritan, read fifteen chapters regularly every day. The late Archdeacon T.C. Hammond used to read through the Bible once a quarter. How long is it since you read right through the Bible? Do you spend as much time with the Bible each day as you do with the newspaper? What fools some of us are! - and we remain fools all our lives, simply because we will not take the trouble to do what has to be done to receive the wisdom which is God’s free gift.”
(J.I. Packer, Knowing God, pp. 101-102)
Don’t be a fool. Be wise. Let’s soak ourselves daily in the scriptures.

“A man saturated in Scripture becomes dangerous - to the devil, to sin, and to complacency. Open that Bible like your spiritual life depends on it.”

“WHY READING YOUR BIBLE IS SO IMPORTANT FOR YOU MENTALLY!
Your mind controls your thought life.
If Satan can control your thoughts, he can influence your actions.
Proverbs 23:7 For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he.
Research shows the average person has 60,000-70,000 thoughts per day, and many are repetitive. Whoever shapes those thoughts shapes behavior.
Romans 12:2 Be transformed by the renewing of your mind.
Read your bible daily …”

“Be walking Bibles.” - C.H. Spurgeon
To be a walking Bible one must first read the Bible.
A daily walk is good for your health in the here and now. A daily walk in the scriptures is good for your eternal well-being.

“Get into your Bible.
I’m a mental health therapist, and I charge two hundred bucks an hour. That is average for my profession.
People often come to me for anxiety and depression.
For my Christian clients, the ultimate reason their depression or anxiety goes away isn’t because of me, but because by the end of therapy, they are reading their bibles and applying Christian values to their lives.
Daily.
Read your dusty Bible and your mental health issues will improve.”

“Right now, the nation’s capital is in the middle of accomplishing something that only 17% of Americans say they’ve done: reading the Bible from cover to cover.
The historic event, called @AmericaRTBible, is believed to be the largest of its kind in U.S. history.”
(Family Research Council)
That’s a good thing but, if you’re able, don’t let other people do your reading for you. I want to encourage my readers to pick up the Bible daily and do your reading for yourselves.

“The goal of persistent Bible reading isn’t simply to accumulate biblical trivia or to be able to recall biblical facts, but to let Holy Scripture shape us, our thoughts, our habits, hopes, and loves.” - Michael F. Bird
