Something Wonderful

“Your testimonies are wonderful; therefore my soul keeps them” (Psalm 119:129).  Why are some Christians very sluggish when it comes to reading the Bible, while others have a burning desire to fill their minds with its truth?  The usual reason (excuse) given for neglecting Scripture is a lack of time.  But the actual reason is that they do not see anything wonderful or special in Scripture.  Christians will fervently desire to read, obey, and interact with God’s word only if they see it as something wonderful.  We must view God’s word as something filled with wonders, with things that are above the ordinary.  We must be convinced that the effects of regularly nourishing our faith on God’s word will be worth every moment dedicated to this sacred study.
