Tomorrow is the day for the Ascension. Today I will write about the beneficial use of the Bible.
We are a nation with fading, crumbling worship services and endless substitutes. One friend said to me, "The congregation is very small and elderly.
It is good to have a loved Bible (KJV, large print) and a plan to build ways to encourage, new, and renew Bible passages. Regular morning and sleep-time, Bible and prayer, will fashion a habit. That can often be energized.
I like to work on a given Bible book for a period of time. The Proverbs are far better than modern do-it-yourself bookstore advice. My university students were often struck by the modern wisdom they found in the Bible (imagine!).
I decided to use Psalms recently, especially because I wanted learn more of that book. My previous students urged me about Psalm 91, which I have hanging on my wall in the living room. I almost wore it down and immediately added Psalm 37 for almost every day.
I am currently using Palms each day, most of them, and I go back to favorites and especially the classic passages, like Proverbs.
