“All Scripture is God-breathed. ...” - II Timothy 3: 16

Just as it is necessary for a person to eat in order to sustain life and to have strength and vigor, so it is essential for a believer to meditate on the Word of God, that he might be spiritually strong and healthy. As a person’s body becomes weak and even sick through lack of proper food, so the Christian becomes spiritually sick and emaciated through lack of proper spiritual food. As Christians, we should have both personal devotional time and general Bible reading. We may spend considerable time reading the Bible, but even more important than regular Bible reading is having a personal devotional time in which we not only read the Scripture but also meditate upon them.

For having a profitable personal devotional time, we need to have submission - submit to God so that He may speak to us through His Word. This involves shutting out other matters that disturb us. We must desire to meet God face to face. Shutting out the rest of the world is much easier to accomplish in the morning before the mind becomes filled with thoughts concerning the problems or cares of the day. When we thus submit to God, the Holy Spirit will open and illuminate our hearts, our eyes to see the deep truths of the Bible. So dear friends, just as the Israelites gathered the manna early in the morning, if we wish to see the glory of the Lord (Exodus 16: 7) in our spiritual life, let us seek Him in His Word early in the morning. Then surely we will find strength not only to face the challenges that we come across each day, but also to live victorious Christian lives.
