The Whys and the Hows

God gave us something to teach us, to illuminate what is wrong in us, to correct us, to prepare us and to give us the tools we need to do His work: the Bible. 
So how do we start reading the Bible? How do we make God's Word be the top priority that it should be?


It starts with an open heart, and the simple step of opening the  Bible. Some have suggested that if you've never read the Bible before the best place to start is in the New Testament, with the gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. I have always loved the Psalms; reading them has helped me through some really dark times and given insight during some really good times.
If you have read the Bible, but have found yourself giving Bible reading a lower priority in your everyday life, be encouraged! There is grace for those of us who don't have it all together! 
Check out these links for more encouragement as you strive to give God's Word top priority in your life.
