Is There Dust on Your Bible?

What is it about the Bible that makes it so hard to open daily? Is it because it holds 66 books? Perhaps the verses are hard to understand, often confusing, or, as some might say, boring. Or is it simply that it doesn’t seem relevant to the issues I deal with because it was written to a people and culture so ancient that it’s become obsolete? One thing that helps me is seeing the Bible as God’s love letter to us. As I read my Bible, I see the patterns of God’s unfailing love, mercy, patience, and care for His people revealed in every book.
Actively reading our Bible will grow our faith and turn a once-unused book into a treasured means of talking to God.
