Hi, I’m John Sorensen, President of Evangelism Explosion International, and you’re listening to Share Life Today.
Proverbs 3:5-6 says, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways, acknowledge Him, and He will direct your path.” When we apply this powerful verse to the area of reading our Bibles—we see that we do so not only to acquire knowledge of God and His ways but also to be guided in our lives by His will and His mind. We must come to the Bible in a prayerful spirit. We’re reading it with the intention of having God address us. We can pray along with the Psalmist, “Open my eyes that I may see wonderful things in your law” and also plead the promise of Ezekiel 36:27 that He will cause us to walk in His statutes. We are seeking to learn His will and then do it. To learn more about how you can grow in your faith through reading God’s Word, visit our website at www.sharelife.today. That’s www.sharelife.today.
