How are you doing so far with your summer-time goals? Have you been able to make progress for physical and emotional well-being? Have you found time to think long thoughts and imagine big dreams? And what about your Bible? Is it still mostly unopened and intimidating? It’s not too late to build the rest of your summer around daily Scripture reading. Consider the following motivation.

The Truth about Scripture

• From the first page to the last, the Bible declares the most meaningful and truthful stories for all of eternity.
• The Word offers the perfect language to express emotion and the ideal comfort to soothe feelings. It’s the safest place to land before or after a day in this troublesome world.
• Ultimate wisdom for every dilemma you face is found in Psalms, Proverbs, and throughout the New Testament.
• No greater collection of virtues, identity, confidence, or character traits can be discovered than what God placed in the Bible.
• The most important cause and purpose, Jesus Christ, is found every single time you read the Word.
• The prose and poetry of Scripture can enrich your mind and spirit to be a creative participant in the Creator’s ongoing work for the entire universe.
• Scripture rightly teaches science and engineering in a way that can never be disproven.
• The greatest puzzle board you’ll ever work on is putting the Jesus pieces together from the Old Testament to the New Testament.
• The active battle plans for the most impressive war to ever be fought and won are made public in Scripture for all Christ-followers to enlist on the winning side.
• The adventure of finding God yet always having more to discover about Him keeps devotional time fresh and challenging.
• There is supernatural and transformative power awaiting you in reading a sacred text that is inspired by the Lord and used in real-time by the Holy Spirit.
