The Word of God

We all have our favorite writers, commentators, soothsayers. We make a special point to read or listen to everything they put out. Some of them are very good. I’ve noticed that I personally spend way too much time paying attention to what the world says and not enough time to what God says. If I get ten minutes in reading the Bible I consider that adequate. I give the creator of all things ten minutes and everyone else a whole bunch of minutes. Now God has a whole lot to say in just a few verses but I think the noise of everything else tends to make me forget what God said. The Bible says I’m supposed to meditate on the things He says all day long. It’s hard for the Bible to compete wit the other stuff because the world writers have pictures, videos, charts, surveys and other distractions to bolster their importance. Reading the Bible requires me to think, to meditate. Other sources have done all the thinking for me. It’s OK to read other stuff but I’m going to try to start with scripture before I get involved in the daily chatter.
