To grow is to increase in strength and strength is adding up in knowledge (Proverb 24:5) Those who hate knowledge cannot grow. That is why ignorance is a sin to God. (Hosea 4:6) This is because, those who lack knowledge have deliberately ignore knowledge. They don’t want to take the pain or pay the price. As a child of light, you must not live-in ignorance or else you will expose yourself to the activities of the devil (1 John 1:7).
The word of God says, we must meditate on the word to be able to gain strength to do them. The challenge with studying is the fact that it is beyond reading. It is working or laboring to get more insight from an information. It is making research into an information. To make research demand some level of repetition and tautology. So, the lazy always avoid it. If you want to grow as a citizen of the kingdom of God, you must study the word of God. There is nothing really good that is at the surface. Good virtues are deeper than normal. It takes strong determination to fetch them out.
Friend, stop rushing to read your Bible. Take two or three verses at a time and study them deeply by meditating over them. You need to search deeper to gain understanding (Psalm 119:130). Then you will find strength to do or to obey the word of God. Peace.
Prayer: Lord, give me the grace to study.
"THE DEPTH OF YOUR STUDY DETERMINES THE DEPTH OF YOUR LIFE"
