This Day

This beautiful day of two-thousand eleven,

Unfolded gracefully as the new dawning scrolled from Heaven;

Another day our Lord has made...so His children can rejoice and be glad in it,

The moon moved over...and the darkness faded...now the amazing sky is brightly lit;

We're blessed to witness this wondrous day,

More time to share our love, more time to worship our Lord and more time to pray.

STOP: REFLECT!

Give thought to what you've read in God's Word. Did you wait to hear what God was saying to you? Do you understand God's message to your heart? Do you realize that God speaks to us through His Word? Sometimes we(Christians) speed-read through passages we've read many times before. In so doing, we miss what God is meaning to show us. When we do this, we fail to learn anything new from that passage. Like physical food, spiritual food needs chewing.

So, let's not come to the Bible as if we're going to an express buffet. By chewing(meditating) on God's Word we will get the most value for our spiritual growth.

Reading the Bible without reflecting is like eating without chewing.
