Don't Lose Time!
"But we understand these things,
for we have the mind of Christ."
1 Corinthians 2: 16
Guinness World Records claims In Search of Lost Time
by Marcel Proust is the world’s longest book, with more than
1.2 million words. Depending on the edition, it can span more
than 4,000 pages. To read it, you need a sturdy lap, a strong
pair of glasses, and rare determination.
Why not study God’s Word instead? It’s small enough
to hold in your hand, yet we never tire of its ever-fresh
words. The reason the Bible constantly renews us is
simple—it was inspired by the Holy Spirit who also
indwells us and enables us to
understand it.
It’s possible to devote your life to study the Bible
without its transforming effect on your
heart. To
some, it’s just an ancient book. But to the Spirit-
filled believer, the Holy Spirit tutors us.
Apostle Paul wrote, “For his Spirit searches out
everything and shows us God’s deep secrets….
We have received God’s Spirit…so we can know
the wonderful things God has freely given us”
(1 Corinthians 2:10-12).
As you read the Bible, ask the Spirit
to shine His flashlight on the truths
He wants you to see
today.
"The Bible is the greatest of all books;
to study it is the noblest of all
pursuits;
to understand it, the highest of all goals."
Charles Ryrie
