SAMPLE EXCERPT
WHAT'S IN IT FOR ME?
As you plunge into your reading, you may be saying
to yourself, "I hope there's some real benefit to
this." Believe me, there is. There is more benefit
to reading the Bible than you have ever imagined.
But I won't ask you to just take my word for it.
The Lord has a lot to say about it, and I'm about
to share with you just a few of the great rewards
of searching the Scriptures daily. But first, just
a few more tips about how to go about it.
You should always approach Bible reading
prayerfully. Remember, it's a spiritual Book, and
must be understood that way. The Holy Spirit, Who
is God just as the Father and the Son are, is the
Teacher (John 14:26). More on that later in the
section on study. For now, though, you need to
remember that if you're going to get anything
worthwhile out of your reading, it will be because
the Lord opened your understanding. So prayer is
the right place to start.
I like to pray according to what the Word says.
It's one way to know you are getting God's ear
when you pray. Listen to what the Apostle John had
to say about it: "And this is the confidence that
we have in him, that, if we ask anything according
to his will, he heareth us: And if we know that he
hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have
the petitions we desired of him" (1 John 5:14-15).
One way we can know we're asking according to His
will is to ask according to His Word. His Word is
His will.
