I realized last night that reading God's Word every day is a lot like going to bed on time/early.
They are both something you fully plan to do everyday, but things just keep coming up. Sometimes - quite often in fact - you don't get to it because of that one last thing you wanted to check online, or read, or watch on T.V. Any way you look at it, and before you know it, it's an hour and a half past when you said you wanted to go to sleep, the day has flown by, and/or you didn't have any quality time just reading His Word to you. That is when we will often read a bit sheepishly and then finally lay down...
But you know what the funny thing is? When you lay down to sleep, it feels so good you wonder why you didn't get there sooner? It's the same reading the Bible. You have finally had your Daily Bread and are feeling pleasantly "full" wondering why you didn't read any of it sooner.
Why do I keep putting them off when I love them so much?
Lord, help me to get to bed early after I have feasted on your Word!
