It is very important to read sincerely and search the good Holy Scriptures. We wish to help you in this experience. As this is a large book, we can digest this only in small parts. That is the best method of absorbing the Scriptures. When your heart is hungry, read the bread chapter or when your foot is slippery, read the rock chapter. If you find yourself in a small discord, read the caring chapter. If you face lot of defeats in your struggles against satan, read the victory chapter. To instruct a fresh believer or a yearning soul to read the Scriptures, is like sending a patient into a drugstore to help himself. That will not do! What is needed is a well written prescription by the physician specifying the drugs and the correct dosage. You may find some here and the rest you can find after a small research. They will do you good. After you read one such chapter, you may note the title at the head of the chapter.

Read your Bible
Read your Bible which contains the thought of God, the state of man, the way of salvation, the end of the righteous man and that of the wicked. Its teachings are holy. Its leading is controllable by covenants. Its histories are true. Its judgments are irreversible. One should read this in order to become wise. One should believe this in order to be just. One should practice this to become holy. This contains light to lead you on, food to strengthen you and solace to comfort you.
This is a traveler's map, a pilgrim's cane, a pilot's compass, a soldier's sword and Christian's discipline. Here the paradise is brought to its former state. The heaven is opened. The doors of hell are laid bare. Its central theme is Christ. Its model is good for us. The glory of God is its end. It should fill our mind, rule our heart and lead our feet. You should often read this slowly and prayerfully. This is a mine of treasure, the glory of paradise and the river of joy. This has been given in your life and will be opened on the judgment day and it will be remembered eternally. It prays to God for a noble responsibility. Great labor is rewarded. This holds them guilty who disregard its holy content. Love the Bible and read it carefully! Meditate it!!
