Devotional time :)

Daily bread

Had my quiet time and i found it so true...like God is speaking out from it directly to me...i guess im not the only one experiencing it..

Let me just repost it here :)

Eat Fast,Pay less

A hotel in Singapore introduced an express buffet—eat all you can in 30 minutes and pay just half the price! After that experience, one diner reported: “I lost my decorum, stuffing my mouth with yet more food. I lost my civility, . . . and I lost my appetite for the rest of the day, so severe was my heartburn.”

Sometimes I think in our devotional reading we treat God’s Word like an express buffet. We wolf it down as fast as we can and wonder why we haven’t learned very much. Like physical food, spiritual food needs chewing! For those of us who have been Christians for a long time, we may have a tendency to speed-read through the passages we’ve read many times before. But in doing so, we miss what God is meaning to show us. One sure sign of this is when we learn nothing new from that passage.

David’s desire was right when he wrote in Psalm 119:15, “I will meditate on Your precepts, and contemplate Your ways.” That’s the way to treat God’s Word—to take time to mull it over.

Let’s not come to the Bible as if we were going to an express buffet. Only by meditating on God’s Word will we get the most value for our spiritual well-being.

Spending time in meditation,
Hiding Scripture in our heart,
Works in us a transformation
So from sin we can depart. —Sper

Reading the Bible without reflecting
is like eating without chewing.

After going through this message i felt im like one of this diner ...who just gulp everything up at one time and then the end result is feeling bloated and uncomfortable...at the end having indigestion................ It's the same with reading the bible..sometimes i tend to read the bible like just read and not waiting what's GOD trying to tell me...and i felt like all the verses i've read so many times that i don't have to read again properly...but today i guess God gave me this big wake up call...But we need to read the Bible not recklessly nor impatiently but "
