Neglecting the word. God's Love Letters to us
I was thinking while praying how I have asked God to feed me...lead me...give me wisdom...and then I didn't even bother to read his word.
This is like the Israelites asking for food when all they had to do was rise up and gather the manna.
How privileged we are to have His word when many today do not have it. Many Christians in places like China may not have their own copy. For many years the Israelites had lost the word of God. So many are wanting to hear from the Lord when they do not even consider that the Lord has already spoken. And even now, many argue over His word for doctrine....I wonder in all that arguing if we have failed to allow His word to change us personally and relationally.
Have you ever wanted to just hear God say "I love you"? He said it nearly 2000 years ago and God moves the Apostles to record it for us. His word is Manna to our souls. If we neglect to read it are we starving our souls?
Just some thoughts
