It is the traveler’s map, the pilgrim’s staff, the pilot’s compass, the soldier’s sword and the christian’s charter.
[Scriptures, The.
Importance of Bible study.]
Have a good print Bible, well bound of your own; keep it where you spend most of your time and then search it.
SEARCH the Scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.
John 5:39.
THESE were more noble than those in Thessalonica in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.
Acts 17:11
Set apart at least ten minutes (longer if possible) each day. Choose an hour for study when your mind is clearest. The writer finds the first thing in the morning, his best time. May the first four words in the Bible be your motto, “In the beginning God.”
THE Lord God has given me the tongue of the learned, that I should know how to speak a word in season to him that is weary: he wakeneth morning by morning, he wakeneth mine ear to hear as the learned.
Isaiah 50:4.
