One of the great things about my life is the time I spend with God every night. Since I was about 14 years old, I've tried to make a habit of reading God's Word every night - whether I feel good, feel up to it, feel guilty, feel sleepy, feel angry, feel nothing at all - I need to read Scripture.
Perhaps at first I just felt it was something Christians were suppose to do. But as I have fallen more in love with my Savior, I've come to love the time I spend in His Word. I love reading passages that I've read many times before and finding new intricacies that I never noticed before. This is when I know His Word is alive and active.
My time with Jesus every night is so precious to me, as it's the one time of day that I can be alone and focus in on what the Creator and Sustainer of my life has to say to me. I say I want to serve Him. I ask for more opportunities to serve Him. So I have to remain in His Word.
Thank you, Jesus, for giving us Your Word that I have the freedom and time to read. Thank you for what it teaches me daily. Please never let me neglect the reading of Your Word.
