David said His Word is a lamp and a light. Anyone that has walked in the dark knows what a blessing it is to have even a small amount of light to shine upon the path we are walking. If there is not any light then it is a sure thing that we will either get off the trail or stumble and fall along the way. So the road of life is full of twist, turns, rocks and uneven footing. So without some sort of light shining upon our path, we are sure to stumble and fall. By reading and studying the Word of God it becomes a beacon of light guiding us thru the darkness of life. Many have said, "I don't know how to read the Bible. It is too hard to understand, or too boring and confusing." That is just not so, if we know how to go about reading it. Get you an easy read Bible, such as the NIV. Start reading in the book of St. John, and read about the life and ministry of Jesus. Then proceed to Acts, which is the history of the 1st church. Read Acts at least 3 times, then proceed to the letters following Acts, which were written to the saved saints on how they ought to live in this present world. Sandwich in some reading of the Old Testament, Gen, Exodus, Psalms, Proverbs, Eccl. By then you will have a great start and the light will be shining brightly toward that perfect day. Be blessed.
