Read the words

March 17, 2008

Deuteronomy 17:18-20 BBE
(18) And when he has taken his place on the seat of his kingdom, he is to make in a book a copy of this law, from that which the priests, the Levites, have in their care:
(19) And it is to be with him for his reading all the days of his life, so that he may be trained in the fear of the Lord his God to keep and do all the words of this teaching and these laws:
(20) So that his heart may not be lifted up over his countrymen, and he may not be turned away from the orders, to one side or the other: but that his life and the lives of his children may be long in his kingdom in Israel.


Some people may ask why should I read the Bible every day? I would say that it tells us in God's word. When a new king was to be put in charge of the Israelites, the first thing he was to do was to write out the book of the law (the first five books of the Bible), and then he was to read from it every day.

God wanted the King to know His word. If it was important for the king to be lead by the word, isn't it also important for us to be led by His word also.

Take some time to read His word today.
