As Christians, we’ve been taught the importance of the Word of God. We have been instructed to read the Bible every day. We know the significance of spending time with God every day.  So, are there things we can do to develop a fresh love for the Word of God? 


Main Points:

1. Start by praying a new prayer. Begin to ask God to give you a love for His Word. It’s a simple prayer you can start praying each day. I believe God loves it when we pray such a prayer and He will give us the desire of our hearts.

2. When you open your Bible, believe that you will hear from God. The Bible is a living document, God wants to speak to your heart and life from its pages.

3. Ask the Holy Spirit to open your spiritual eyes. Ask Him to illuminate the truth so that it is seen. The Spirit of God is present every time you open your Bible.

4. Look for the application. How can you put the scripture into practice in your daily life? Remember, the goal is not to get through Scripture, the goal is to get the Scripture through you.
