Finding Time

Read 2 Timothy 3:14-17

Oh, how I love your law! It is my meditation all day long.
-Psalm 119:97 (NRSV)

ONE day while sitting in my dentist's waiting room, I looked around for something to read to pass the time. As I started to grab a magazine, I noticed a Bible sitting next to the stack. I picked it up and opened to one of my favorite parts, the Book of James. I immediately felt the stress and tensions of my day lift as I read.

It is a daily challenge to find time to read the Bible and pray. Yet I spend much leisure time reading books or magazines that promise to help me find happiness and improve my life. From this waiting-room experience, I realized that maybe it does not have to be so hard to find time to read the Bible. If I spend less time on other reading material, I find plenty of time in the day for God's word. The Bible is filled with all the information I need for improving my life and finding not temporary but eternal happiness. Living by its guidance will improve my earthly life and prepare me for eternal life in heaven. My goal is to read the Bible and seek God with all of my heart and with as much passion as I pursue other things in my life.

Jennifer Bruner (Michigan, USA)
Prayer
Dear God, help us to read your word, apply it in our daily life, and share its wisdom with others. Amen.

Thought for the Day
What can I change so I can spend more time with God's word?
