I ran across this recently and it challenged me. I thought I would pass it along to you....
"Is reading the Bible a necessary part of your day or does it have a low priority in your life?
George Mueller, after having read the Bible through 100 times with increasing delight, made this statement. 'I look upon it as a lost day when I have not had a good time over the Word of God. Friends often say, "I have so much to do, so many people to see, I cannot find time for Scripture study." Perhaps there are not many who have more to do than I. For more than half a century I have not known one day when I had not more business than I could get through. For four years I had annually about 30,000 letters and most of these have passed through my hands.
Then, as a pastor of a church with 1200 believers, great has been my care. Besides, I have had charge of five immense orphanages; also, at my publishing depot, the printing and circulating of millions of tracts, books, and bibles; but I have always made a rule never to begin work until I have had a good season with God and His Word. The blessing I have received has been wonderful.'
Do you want to know how to meet the problems of the day? Do you want to know what God wants you to do with your life? Then you must pray and consult His wonderful guide book, the Bible, every day. If we are too busy to read God's Word daily, then one thing is sure...we are too busy!"
Indebted,
