What is the best foundation for my spiritual growth?
I didn’t always view the Bible as the kind of friend it
has now become. Before I committed my life to Jesus I
found it confusing, even mysterious, partly because I
tried to read it from page 1, like any other book. Soon I
got bogged down and put it aside.
After I became a believer, the Bible began to come
alive. My entry point was reading about Jesus in the
New Testament. Often, to my amazement, what I read
in the morning would apply directly to events
happening that very day.
May I ask you to do something out of the ordinary?
Regardless of your age, become a “little child” for a
minute. Come to Jesus as one would to a loving
parent. No requests. No expectations. You don’t have
to brush your teeth or comb your hair. Simply come
and linger in His presence, experiencing His love for
you. Why not take a moment to do this right now?
Learning from the Bible is the best way to build a
“rock-solid” spiritual foundation. From the Bible’s
inspired pages you will learn who God is, how He wants
you to live and how He will guide you. Think of
spending time with God’s Word as laying the foundation
of a building. Though hidden from view, it is
indispensable and no place to cut corners. The
soundness and stability of the entire structure depends
on a solid foundation. Make the Bible the basis of your
spiritual life.
