Have you ever read a book and said that exact line?
I’m in the middle of one right now! Every day I read a little more, and as I put it down (life still goes on around me), I say those exact words! This book is a “Life-Changer!” I can’t wait to tell someone about this! On every page I’ve found something that speaks right to me, like the writer knows my life. At first, I thought it was kind of eerie that so much of it was personal, but the more I read the more I look forward to what’s in the next chapter.
Would you like to know the title so you can get reading? I’m sure you can find it at your local library, matter of fact you may have it in your house already. It’s God’s Word, THE BIBLE. Now you’re saying, “Seriously? The Bible? Wasn’t that written some 2000 years ago? What does my life have to do with anything in The Bible? I think you will be COMPLETELY SURPRISED to know that there is something for YOU on every page of God’s Word (even those hard to read sections like the laws in Leviticus, or the messages from the prophets like Amos and Haggai.)
New to reading a Bible? Let me suggest a starting place for you. Look in the Table of Contents for the Book of John. It will be towards the back of the Bible. This is a great beginning, easy to read, very personal, and you’ll get a good look at Jesus, God’s Son, the central figure of the whole book.
Had a Bible in your hand since you were very young?
Then here’s a challenge for you. Every time you open your Bible there WILL be something personal for you (yes, even in the laws in Leviticus), if you just ask the right question…
Ask yourself:
Is there:
A promise to claim?
A principle to apply?
A habit to start (or stop)?
An attitude to correct?
An example to follow?
A sin to confess?
A person to forgive?
A truth to believe?
A danger to avoid?
A change to make in my character, conduct, or conversation?
When we take time to make it personal, God’s Word will become alive and active in our lives!
Then you too will happily confess to your Facebook world… THIS BOOK IS A LIFE-CHANGER!!!
