Last time we saw that some people are so busy that they have difficulty finding time to read the Bible, and a few truly are very busy. They could be multitasking by listening to the Bible being read on CD, mp3, streaming on the internet, etc. while driving, getting ready for work or eating. The fact is that the argument about not having time is usually bogus. Many who claim not to have time for the Bible have an hour or two a day to watch TV, listen to music, gossip on the phone, etc.
The truth is uncomfortable for most of us. We could read the Bible, but there are other things that we would rather do so we never get around to time with God. It is ironic that we claim to believe God is the eternal, all-knowing, all-wise creator of mankind who lovingly gave us an instruction manual to guide our lives to reach their full potential, but about 75% are not listening to it. What makes it disturbing is a UPI report of a survey claiming that 90% of American adults pray. It is pretty arrogant to think that God should listen to us anytime day or night that we have a problem for Him to solve, but not have time to listen to the teachings and wisdom God revealed in the Bible. Jesus said in Matthew 4:4, “Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.” “How Do I Start Studying?” next time. Got Bible questions? Ask me.
