Reading the Bible is important to any Christians walk with God. We learn about our Savior, what He has done for us, and what we must do for Him. We learn through the Bible what things please God. We learn how to pray, what and who to pray for. We learn how to resist temptation and think pure thoughts. We learn how to share the Gospel. What would we be, what would the world be with out the Bible?

READ IT THROUGH

by Amos Wells

I supposed I knew the Bible,

reading piecemeal, hit or miss,

Now a bit of John or Matthew,

Now a snatch of Genesis;

Certain chapters of Isaiah

certain Psalms (the twenty-third),

Twelfth of Romans, First of Proverbs,

yet I thought I knew the word.

But I found a thorough reading

was a different thing to do,

And the way was unfamiliar

when I read the Bible through

You who like to play at Bible,

Dip and dabble here and there

Just before you kneel a-weary,

and yawn out a hurried prayer;

You who treat the (crown of writing)

as you treat no other book -

Just a paragraph disjointed,

Just a crude, impatient look -

Try a worthier procedure,

try a broad and steady view,

You will kneel in very rapture
