Reading

This year I am committed to reading more. The truth is I hate to read. That is strange because I love to write. I have never been a good reader. My mind seems to drift off into never, never land. However, reading is one way to really broaden your base of knowledge and gain new insights. My mentor Dr. Morris Sheats encouraged me to read outside my interest and my profession. In doing so, I have been exposed to a whole new world.

I find it interesting that when I read a book I gain new insight. I read it a second time and it reaffirms that insight. Yet, when I read the Bible, I may read a verse or passage over and over again and each time I receive new revelation. I urge you today to make a commitment to study God's Word daily and spend time reflecting on His work in your life.
