When we spend time reading the scripture (or listening to an audiobook of scripture!) we are bathed in truth. We are looking into a mirror that speaks identity over us. When we only read scripture occasionally, it's easier to forget who we really are. It's easier to behave differently than who we truly are. There's no legalistic requirement for "how much" scripture reading is "enough", and we will all go through different seasons of life. It's okay to read more scripture in some seasons (to stare into that mirror frequently) and to read less scripture in other seasons (to stare into that mirror less frequently). So long as we have a foundation in scripture and have spent a long time staring into that mirror, we can sustain times of busy-ness where we seek the Lord more so in the internal place and less so in the external disciplines.
But all that said, I hope each person reading this is drawn into a season of more scripture, more digging deep, more staring into the mirror of Christ. Blessings.
In the image, the mirror reads:
Healed - Light
Peace - Clean - Pure
Holy - Glorious - Fruitful
Justified - Forgiven - Righteous
Dead to sin - Free - Conquerer
Child of God - Inheritance
No Condemnation
Grace - Faith - Heir - Loving
The Mind of Christ
Temple of the Holy Spirit
Bought at a price - Loved
Body of Christ - Victorious
New Creation - Blessed
Saint - Chosen - Redeemed
Capable - Blameless - Rooted
Born again - Abundance
Spirit-filled
