I want to encourage you to make it a habit of reading -- or listening to -- the Bible on a daily basis.
Now most believers know they 'should' read the Bible regularly...
But the only way to make it a habit is to feel a compelling need to read God's Word, and then want to do it.
So how can you get in that place?
Well, think for a second of someone who has very poor eye site...
When they get up in the morning, they are pretty much stumbling around until they put on their glasses or put in their contact lenses.
And for them, this is something they feel the need to do... and want to do... so they can see clearly.
Well... spiritually speaking, we all have trouble seeing.
Our fallen nature is out to deceive us.
Our culture relentlessly seeks to persuade us that right is wrong and up is down.
And even the devil himself is always out to twist things so we don't see them as they really are.
But when you read the Bible, it's like putting on a pair of special spiritual reality glasses.
And as God's grace goes to work on your heart, you're able to see things as He sees them...
... so instead of living by lies, we can see the truth, goodness and beauty God has in mind for us to bring to this world.
And, we also find the hope and vision we need to see that living in pursuit of such things is not in vain.
