Part 2 of 6, Hints to Read

HINTS FOR PROSPERITY - READ TO KNOW GOD

             This guide will give hints on how to read your Bible. This guide will be "most" useful for the person who is reading the One Year (365) Bible.  This guide will provide hints on how to read the Bible to know God. This guide will alert the reader to the meanings of some of the nearly 700 names of God. This guide will be useful for any and all that read their Bible to know God.

            Suggestions will be made on what to look for as you are exposed to the attributes of God. Methods of identifying the promises of God with their condition will be useful as you apply them to your situation. This guide will suggest how to set meditation goals using key words you will have discovered. Key Words that are recorded in the Bible informs us as to what God expects to occur when his will is being done. These key words have been taught at Victory Baptist Church and provide guidance for the believer and warns all men everywhere to repent. We read to know Him. The key words are: Law, Sin, Righteousness, Love, Holy, Mercy, Grace, Faith, Hope, Heart, Glory and Joy. Even when it is not easy to understand, read and continue to read the Bible to know Him and thereby your faith will be increased.

            Reading, in my opinion, is not the same as trying to study the Bible. The desire to study ought to be the result of your consistent reading. If you choose to read your bible or through The One Year Bible,  then this booklet identifies some of the conflicts you will face as you read and some suggestion on how to overcome them.

            Let each of us determine in our own heart if we want to read the Bible every day from now to eternity. If and when we decide to read, determine that you will read to know God and not try to make Him happy with us because we have read. Read the Bible to see The LORD.  Focus on who God is and he does things and not so much on how the creation acts or how people respond to God. Keep in your mind the goal is to know Him. It is Him and not his creation. Read John 3:6.

             Each of us get to choose what we are about, where we go, who we associate with, why we don't do certain deeds and why we act towards other as we do. Any person can make a decision. Only wise people gather the facts and search out a matter before making a decision. Even with much effort, it is still possible to make a bad decision if they dismiss what thus saith The Lord. What follows is the consequence of the decision. All people will have to deal with the consequences of their choices. Please be careful, diligent and seek The LORD early each day and before every decision. Read to know Him. He loves you.
