Psalm says blessed is the man whose, “delight is in the law of the LORD, and on his law he meditates day and night.” And so it is for the believer: bible reading is vitally important. To study, meditate on, and to seek to know more of the truth as is found in God’s Word.
We hope the following resources will all the more encourage to search the Bible for hidden treasures, and to hide the Word of God in your heart that you might not sin against God.
In regards to always reading your Bible with a pen and paper in hand, Martyn Lloyd-Jones said, “The moment something strikes me or arrests me I immediately pull out my pad. A preacher has to be like a squirrel and has to learn how to collect and store matter for the future days of winter.” (pg. 218, The Sacred Anointing)
