I Don’t Have Time to Read the Bible
Are You Making Time for the Bible?
Time is something that is limited. There are 60 minutes in every hour. There are 24 hours in a day. 7 Days in a week. By the time, one is done eating, sleeping, traveling to and from work, working, meeting the family responsibility, when is there time to read the Bible!
When the world hears those words, they buy into them. How could anyone take much time to study the Bible! We are just too busy! Well, my friends, that is nothing more than a lie. The only part of truth in it is that time is limited. We have a limited time, from birth to our death to know our God and what He wishes for our life.
Ecc 12:13 This is the end of the matter; all hath been heard: fear God, and keep his commandments; for this is the whole duty of man. For God will bring every work into judgment, with every hidden thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.
Mat 6:33 But seek ye first his kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
With knowledge from God like this, how can we ignore his pleas?
At work, if you have a boss who asks you to make it your top priority to mail a package for him, do you just let the box sit on your desk all day? No! You hop to it because know there will be serious repercussions if the work isn’t done.
Again, how can we ignore the Creator of all, when he pleas for us to follow his commandments? A Creator who in John 3:16 has His desire expressed that “None should Perish”?
What will it gain us if we say, “I had time to do the laundry, but, I lost my soul.” ”I had time to watch a great movie, but I lost my soul.” “I had time to finish an education, but I never educated my soul and it has perished.”
Mat 16:26 For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
