Ways to read God’s Word

Regularly – Luke 4:16
He went to Nazareth,  where he had been brought up, and on the Sabbath day he went into the synagogue,  as was his custom. He stood up to read,

Diligently – Psalm 119:47
for I delight in your commands
because I love them.

Prayerfully – Psalm 119:18
Open my eyes that I may see
 wonderful things in your law.

Five commands: four reasons

Proverbs 23:1-5
When you sit to dine with a ruler,
 note well what is before you,
    and put a knife to your throat
 if you are given to gluttony.
    Do not crave his delicacies,
 for that food is deceptive.

   Saying 8
    Do not wear yourself out to get rich;
 do not trust your own cleverness.
    Cast but a glance at riches, and they are gone,
 for they will surely sprout wings
 and fly off to the sky like an eagle.   

Thoughts 

. Fear is a greater evil than the evil itself…What do you fear?  No, fear not; you walk on the sea amid the winds and the waves, but it is with Jesus.  What is there to fear?  But if fear seizes you, cry loudly, “O Lord, save me.”  He will give you his hand: clasp it tight and go joyously on. - Francis de Sales
. Pray often, for prayer is a shield to the soul, a sacrifice to God, and a scourge to Satan.  Prayer will cease a man from sin; or sin will cease a man from prayer. - John Bunyan
