I’m again amazed by the Word of God! It just blows my mind. I get so encouraged just by thinking and meditation on the truths of the Scriptures. I’m puzzled how I in periods of my life find it struggling to read the Bible, when in “good” periods I feel like I could never stop meditating on the word. Do you feel the same way? What can one do?

I guess perseverance is a key word here. It doesn´t always give us goose bumps of joy when we read the Bible. That doesn´t mean its less important those times. The fish-soup on Monday is by no means of less importance than the Christmas dinner. I guess its a part of this individualistic culture that we´re in that makes us seek whatever feels good. The Bible therefore easily get neglected because we quit when it doesn´t feel good anymore.

From psalm 1 we get to know that those who meditate on the law(the word of God) day and night, will be like a tree planted by streams of whater. It gives its fruit in the right time. 2.timothy also along those lines says it helps us being equipped for all good works.
Its a sword against temptations, and a source of truth and comfort when lies sneaks into our minds.

I added more verses about it below the movie. Also there is a very good text about this at the yourney deeper website! Its worth taking a look at.

You have probably seen “Narnia”. You remember the part when Lucy goes into the wardrobe? I heard someone compare it to opening the Bible. In the beginning it might feel like you just meet these old dusty jackets. Not very exciting. But suddenly this whole world opens up in front of you; the land of Narnia. I heard about someone that had read through the whole Bible more than 50 times, and every time finding new treasures. Its certainly true that its like a treasure cave

Your word I have treasured in my heart,
That I may not sin against You. (psalm 119,11)

This book of the law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do according to all that is written in it; for then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have success.  (Josh 1,8)

All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work. (2tim 3,16-17)

Thank you God for your word. Please open our eyes to see your word for what it actually is. Amen
