I do a daily reading but I don't "saturate" myself in it like I should. I've tried to be more mindful of this lately.

It's a real eye opener for me to hear this message and to realize if I'm honest with myself I don't spend much time in the bible and therefore have to admit that my faith in the power of scripture is pretty weak. I almost feel silly that God laid out everything we need in the words of the bible, but I'm not ravenously studying...or studying it much at all. Sorry to be a negative Nancy....er Ned.

How do you approach the Bible?" This was a big point for me. I do this a lot. I look to scripture to affirm a decision that I have already made. Or I go to Jesus to answer a question I've already made up my mind about. And if there is silence or anything that goes against my decision I write it off as not "technically" dealing with my question or some other lame excuse.
