I think the moment you pick up the Bible and read, with intent, the very first word... a personal journey begins!

I have been literally lost into the Bible for a little over a month now, sometimes reading chapters and entire books at a time. Some unfold like a beautiful story and you cannot help but end up lost for hours. Have you ever looked up a particular scripture, and before you know it, you have read three chapters? I read the Bible cover to cover as a child (a requirement in our home) but it was just a bunch of words. For the first time in my life those words have true meaning!

Amen, when one accepts the Holy Spirit the hunger for His Word is truely intensifed and manifested, we just have to remember to "clean out the ashes" of that consuming fire within that burns all that is not of God so as not to quench that fire.:)

It sounds daunting yet it is the very food for our souls. I use to spend more time watching TV, reading Guitarist magazines than I did the bible.. what a waste of time.

I like your comment about food for the soul.
I was speaking to someone today that said they did not like to read all of the bible, only picked parts.
I told this person that you will never be healthy in understanding this way.
That all of the scriptures are important in a goddly diet.
So just as you know that you must eat healthy, you also need to read healthy.
So eat your bible vegies! :D

God bless, pickles

33But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
mathew 6:3

22And Enoch walked with God after he begat Methuselah three hundred years, and begat sons and daughters:
23And all the days of Enoch were three hundred sixty and five years:
24And Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him.

33 Sadly I see a lot of people who don't read there bibles at all. Their always asking God help me, help me. Getting mad at God or wondering why their prayers aren't being answered but they won't try to learn anything about the one who they keep asking help from.

Hi loveschild,

Oh my goodness...Getting mad at God? One should certainly never want to do that! Better to pursue an opposite approach using the following advice:
"Want to know how to make God laugh? Tell Him about your future plans."

I've seen people bragging that they have read the bible from beginning to end. They forget about pride being a sin. So they didn't read it good enough.

She was making a general comment Thaddeus. It's probably a quote she got from a preacher somewhere. It's humor.

Some people read the Bible, cover to cover, and then seem to think they have come to the end of a journey that leads to heaven. Other people read the Bible, cover to cover, and then seem to think they are only beginning a journey that leads to heaven. Which view would be closer to the truth?[/quote
