Daily Bible Study

By William Covert

WILLIAM COVERT

It is said that the Christians at Berea searched the Scriptures daily that they might more fully understand the things which the apostles preached to them. They are highly commended for doing this. Their understanding of the Scriptures and their faithfulness in the Christian life were traceable to their Bible study. It is impossible for any one to grow in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, who neglects to study the Word of God. Not one person in the wide world can be a strong and capable Christian who neglects to study God's Word.

It is Bible study and prayer which make the child of God strong to work for Jesus and to bear burdens in his cause. It is the earnest Bible student who becomes the strongest evangelist. Drinking from the living fountain is accomplished by Bible study and prayer. He that reads God's Word and meditates upon it most is best prepared to lead the sinner to Jesus. It is the one who is filled with the Word of the Lord who becomes strong in bearing burdens for the Master. O for more faith in God! but this faith will come into the soul of him who feeds most constantly upon the living Word.
