The Secret to Bible Reading

Bible reading can be difficult. Why do some Christians seem to get so much out of their Bibles, but when I read the passage I get…spiritual crickets? Why is my Bible reading so uneventful? What’s the best way to come at this common problem among believers?

King David has the answer. It’s a prayer:

Open my eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of your law.

Psalm 119:18

Pray this humble prayer every time you read the Scriptures—that’s what David means by law here—and watch the Lord do his thing. Don’t be bashful about it; this is part of our inheritance in Christ. He died for us so we can see his glory in his word now. It’s yours in him today.
