You Are What You Eat - So Eat Scripture

"It is blessed to eat into the very soul of the Bible, until at last you come to talk in Scriptural language, and your spirit is flavoured with words of the Lord, so that your blood is Bibline and the very essence of the Bible flows from you. Hundreds of times I surely felt the presence of God in the page of Scripture."

C.H. Spurgeon

As i drove to work a couple of days ago i was thinking about the place of Scripture in a Christian's life. I concluded that if we do not read the whole of the Bible, we will never know everything God would says to us. And that it is impossible to grow in Christ without the influence of the Word saturating our minds, hearts and souls.
Last year (2009) i thought about the possibility of standing before God and never having read every Word of His Book. How would i feel?

I began reading, and when i finished i had had the greatest experience of God so far. So i began again and currently i'm on a journey through the Bible scribbling notes about the character of God as i come to revelations, declarations and descriptions of Him.
It is great, and again, it beats anything i've ever done before as I pray each time, and long to know Him more clearly and to love Him with each glance of who He is, as Scripture reveals Him.

I now think that for as long as i live, i'll harp on with one cry of advice to younger believers, and believers in general:

Read the Bible.
