The Priority of Bible Reading

16 Nov

“Read the Bible daily. Make it part of every day’s business to read and meditate on some portion of God’s Word. Gather your manna fresh every morning. Choose your own seasons and hours. Do not scramble over and hurry your reading. Give your Bible the best, and not the worst, part of your time. But whatever plan you pursue, let it be a rule of your life to visit the throne of grace and the Bible every day.”

~ J.C. Ryle

How Readest Thou?, [Moscow, ID: Charles Nolan Publishing, 2002], 57.

      You’re welcome Tirzah. Glad to hear Ryle’s words still minister to other Christians decades after his death.

      Blessings to you and Troy.
