Worth The Effort?

Psalms 19:7-11

My resolution this year was to read the entire bible this year. Front to back, just plain reading. Ultimately, I realized that even if I did read it once through, I wouldn't truly understand and grasp everything, but I would have to read it over and over again until I understood it. Today's devotion made me realize that we should want to read his word; that everything in it, it's perfect in relation to our lives.


Within the bible,there are phrases, encouragements, struggles, lives and testimonies of people that you can clearly see that glorify God. Sometimes I think God can't use me. That there are so many people out there that can obviously glorify him, and spread the good news around better than I can. What use does he have for me?


But reading the bible makes you realize one thing. God can use anyone. So yes, it is worth the effort. You get to fall in love with God over and over again, listening and looking at every aspect of God...his personality, love and dedication to us. Although I may not understand it the first time, the second time, or the third, I am spending time with him, and that in itself, should be worth everything.

The bible gives a picture of who we really are.
