Many people read the bible because they believe that the bible makes them feel free in their spirits. e.g I hear a lot of people say that the bible releafs stress. Same read the bible because it is a must. Yes all these reasons may be true. But the true biblical meaning is faith
ROMANS 10:17 then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. And by hearing the word doesn't mean that you study the word, and 5 minutes later You forgot what God has told you. No you hold on to the word and you live by it.
Sometimes when God gives you the word it means he is preparing you for the things that are to happen.
when you are to study your bible. You pray for the light, understanding of the scripture and What God wants you to do. You open your bible and as you are going through the scriptures. A thought suddenly pops up in your mind telling you to read Isaiah chapter 60 which explains the promises and the riches that God promised his people. Verse 5 the bible explains " the wealth of the nation's will be bought to you. From across the sea their riches will come"
You must listen to those words put them in your heart, write them on your four head, remember them as you are working and write them on your door step. You are going to be tested because of the scripture. The powers and the rulers of this dark world are going to tempt you. You will hear people insulting you, they will tell you that your business will never prosper, you think too high of yourself and you will never become rich. Don't listen to what they say. Because it is not them that said those words. They yielded to the suggestions of the devil . If you listen to what people say and forget what God has told you. The holy spirit will leave you, their insults will burden your heart and your faith will fail. So be careful listen to what God tells you. Faith is hearing and hearing by the word of God.
So I encourage you to read the bible everyday. Listen to the word of God as he leads and directs you according to his will. As it is said in MATTHEW chapter 13 Verse 23 "And the seeds sown in the good soil stand for those who hear the message and understand it: they bear fruit, some as much as a hundred, others sixty, and others thirty"
55 Isaiah verse 10-11 " My word is like the snow and the rain that come down from the sky to water the earth. They make the crops grow and provide seed for sowing and food to eat. So also will be the word that I speak - it will not fail to do what I plan for it; it will do everything I send it to do.
