Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed in Him, “If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed. And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”

Ovid said, “Nothing is stronger than habit.” Habits are those patterns of daily behavior that make us who we are. For the believer the habit of daily Bible reading and prayer is the reservoir of our spiritual vitality. George Müller said, “The vigor of our spiritual life will be in exact proportion to the place held by the Bible in our life and thoughts.”
Have the pressures of life disrupted this habit in your life? Sometimes Christians get out of the habit of reading and studying the Scriptures. They miss a day, then another. Eventually Satan uses this to silently steal away their desire for the Word. Don’t allow that to happen. What we do occasionally may inspire us, but what we do every day shapes us. We must abide in His Word!
If you’ve missed your Bible time recently, start back. Today!
God’s Word is the instrument by which God’s Spirit transforms the Christian.
