How Do We Approach God's Word, The Holy Bible?
With what attitude do we approach God's word, the Holy Bible? Is it a chore to read it, and are we bored with it and find it dull reading? Or, do we approach God's word with excitement and anticipation, expecting to see miracles performed before our eyes. While reading and studying God's word, do we hear the voice of God speaking to us, giving us direction for our lives? When God, through his word, shows us the experiences of other men and women of past ages, some who rebelled against God and his word, and some who honored God and his word, do we profit from it? If we have the first attitude that reading God's word is a chore and not interesting, then it may be that we are just drawing near to God with our lips, but our heart may be far from him, and the only reason we bother with God at all is because we have been taught by parents or teachers that we ought to honor God, and this is not truly the conviction of our own heart. If we don't really have a deep love for God, and the things of God down deep in our heart, and if our worship and service is only with our mouth and hands, and not with our whole heart, then the bible will be a sealed book to us, because the bible is the only book in existence which must have its' author present when read in order to be understood. When the heart of man is not really yielded to God, then the Holy Spirit is not present to interrupt the meaning of every word of God.
The Holy Bible is the most profound book ever written, yet there is no college or university in existence which can give us enough education to understand it. On the other hand, it is revealed by the Holy Spirit to small children, and the simplest of men whose hearts are in tune with God's Holy Spirit.
If we approach God's word with the attitude of boredom or lack of interest, we ought to give our hearts some careful examination to determine if we are saved, and have been truly “born again” and have the indwelling Holy Spirit with us in our heart.
