Feed yourself every
day without fail. Job said, "I have treasured the words of His mouth More than my necessary food," (Job 23:12).
The more you eat, the quicker you will grow, and the less bruising you will have. Speed up the process and save yourself some
pain -- vow to read God's Word everyday, without fail. Say to yourself, "No Bible, no breakfast. No read, no feed."
Be like Job, and put your Bible before your belly. If you do that, God promises that you will be like a fruitful, strong and
healthy tree (see Psalm 1). Each day, find somewhere quiet, and thoroughly soak your soul in the Word of God.
There may be times when you read through its pages with great
enthusiasm, and there may be other times when it seems dry and even boring. But food profits your body whether you enjoy it
or not. As a child, you no doubt ate desserts with great enthusiasm. Perhaps vegetables weren't so exciting. If you were a
normal child, you probably had to be encouraged to eat them at first. Then, as you matured in life you were taught to discipline
yourself to eat vegetables. This is because they would physically benefit you, even though they may not have at the time,
brought pleasure to your taste buds.
Many people begin their Bible reading by reading the book of John; others
begin in Psalms or Proverbs and still others begin in Genesis and read straight through. We don't necessarily recommend
that immediately but there are many ways to approach reading the Bible including good daily devotionals that will
guide you every day. Ask a friend or your Frontier Fellowship leader what they might recommend for your particular
situation.
