Psalm 19:8 The statutes of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart; the commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes;
I am always glad to be able to read the bible because of the joy that it brings to be in knowing the gospel.
What God has made available to us through our bibles is the truth that He wants us to hear and know; not some novel or guide book.
God wants us to take what is written and allow it to sink deep into our hearts so that is grows us from the inside out.
That light will grow on the inside until it shines through and out for the rest of the world to see.
