At this very moment, I can hear the church bells ringing. The sound is carried throughout our rural Vermont village. It is an awakening to the community and a reminder that a church service will take place in a short time. I dearly wish that happened every single day!
I have come up with a new Bible reading schedule for my personal study time. It is hard, but I am striving to make it a habit. I read 8 chapters in the morning and 8 in the evening. At mid-day, I do The Prentiss Study. This reminds me of Scripture which says to meditate on the Word -day and night. (I am currently working to make the Prentiss Study available for individual use, as a free download and will let you know when it is ready.)
I love reading the Bible this much. I love having it all absorb into my mind. It brings wisdom and understanding. It pushes away worldly culture and helps me think clearly. Instead of putting off Bible reading because of other pressing matters, I am forcing myself to make it a priority. I want to be remembered for what I love to do, not for what I always wished I did.
Can you just picture a content and happy homemaker, reading the Bible throughout the day? It is her joy and comfort in this difficult life. You may find tears on her cheeks at times, or notice that she is stopping to pray and plead with the Lord, or you may just see a glow on her face, like the shining countenance of Moses when he came off the mountain after getting the Ten Commandments from God.
If only I could truly understand how very important this is, I would keep up with it no matter what was happening in my own life. This is my daily striving for precious holiness.
Blessings,
