Making Bible Reading A Daily Habit

Introduction Last week, we studied the lesson “Dare to Stand in 2012” by choosing God over the ways, people, and things of this world. But we aren’t going to be able to accomplish that goal if we aren’t taking the time to meditate on God’s word (Psalms 1:2). Since time is moving quickly towards our eternal destiny, let us be reminded about why it is so important to read your Bible daily.

Because of the Power of God’s Word to Save Us (James 1:21) It is the only document that will produce faith in Christ (Ro. 10:17; Heb. 11:6; Jn. 20:30-31). It causes us to be born again as we obey the truth (John 3:3-5; Acts 8:35f; 1 Pet. 1:22-23) It is able to help keep us saved as we practice righteousness and confess our sins. (2 Tim. 3:14-17; 1 John 1:6-10; 2:29; 3:7-8) This year, let us give the more earnest heed to the Bible so that we don’t drift away from it. (Hebrews 2:1ff; Hosea 4:6)

Because of God’s Power to Keep His Promises (2 Peter 1:3-4) God cannot lie (Hebrews 6:17-18). Through the death of His Son we can have eternal life (Hebrews 9:15; 1 John 5:13). Jesus has promised that He will never leave or forsake us as we keep His commands. (Matthew 28:18-20; Hebrews 13:5) Because of these magnificent promises, let us cleanse ourselves from sin. (2 Cor. 7:1; Psalms 119:9-11; 1 John 3:2-3)

Because of the Power of God’s Word to Encourage Us The Scriptures give us hope. (Romans 15:4) It brings us joy and will lead to fruitfulness (Ps. 1:1-3; Luke 8:15; Gal. 5:22-23) It gives us peace the world cannot give. (Psalm 119:165; John 14:27; 16:33)

Because of the Power of God’s Word to Encourage Us It will strengthen our souls as we suffer through many tribulations. (Acts 14:22; James 1:2-4) It will make us wiser than our enemies. (Psalms 119:98) Therefore, we will not be deceived by the devil’s schemes. (Matt. 4:3ff; Eph. 6:10ff; 2 Pt. 3:16-18)

Because We are Creatures of Habit Our time on earth is very brief (James 4:14). The days are evil so we must make the best use of our time (Ephesians 5:16). If we have not developed the good habit of daily Bible reading then we have neglected God’s command to understand His will. (Eph. 5:17; 3:3-4; Hebrews 5:12-14) This year, let us meditate DAILY on the things that are excellent and praiseworthy. (Philippians 4:8)

Conclusion Because we are creatures of habit. Why should you make Bible reading a daily habit? Because of the power of God’s word to save. Because of God’s power to keep His promises. Because God’s powerful word will encourage us. Because we are creatures of habit. Have you developed this habit? But this will be in vain, if we have failed to obey what we know is the truth. (Heb. 5:8-9; Matthew 7:21-27; Acts 22:16)
