Why study God’s word? Why waste your time with such a boring book? Because of one very important reason, the Word of God is a reflection of God’s heart and mind as a letter written to my wife is a reflection of my heart and mind.

If you love God as much as you tell everyone, then you will love His word. If you desire to spend time with Him, then spend time n His word.
