Anyone else remember that Sunday School song (sing it with me now) - Read your Bible, pray every day, pray every day, pray every day. Read your Bible, pray every day and you'll grow, grow, grow. And you'll grow, grow, grow, and you'll grow, grow, grow. Read your Bible, pray every day and you'll grow, grow, grow. The words are not complicated and neither is the tune and for that matter, neither are the concepts involved in the song. Read your Bible, pray every day and you'll grow...simple instructions. We so often complicate it all. I think the best instruction I ever received was to read the Bible - don't go to the commentaries first, don't decide where the information is going first, just start by reading the text. I'm not disparaging commentaries by any stretch of the imagination, they are valuable tools and I enjoy using them, but really if you don't read the Bible first, the commentaries are not going to mean as much. It's sort of like allowing movie or book reviews to determine your opinion of the actual thing.
So there ya go, there we go - read your Bible, spend time with God in prayer and you'll grow, grow, grow.
