but if i've got a headache i don't put a band-aid on my head... if i cut my finger i don't stick an asprin in it! so you need to apply the word like medicine!
-well i'm really having a rough day, i think i'll read the word
-no what are you having a hard time with?
-well i'm feeling so - i'm discouraged
well okay, then you get it out, and you get in the concordance - and you look up the word discouraged, and you look up the word courage, and you look up all those scriptures, and maybe you look up the definition of the word, and you think about it and you pray about it - and and the word is like medicine that will help you get well in that area!
Don't just read it out of some kind of obligation - you're not doing God a favour when you read the bible. He already knows it.
It's something you do for yourself. Amen?
Stay awake and keep your clothes on
