The Bible should be at the centre of our life. Most of us will say that this is the case. We read it, we sing it, we study it, we hear it taught. The Bible is the foundation of our life in God – but, is it? Do we have a thirst to know God’s will that we might do it? Are we eager to know God through his Word? A 19th century Pastor, Octavius Winslow, writes,
When a professing Christian can read his Bible with no spiritual taste, or when he searches it, not with a sincere desire to know the mind of the Spirit in order to [walk] a holy and obedient walk, but with a merely curious aim, it is a sure evidence that his soul is making but a retrograde movement in real spirituality. Nothing perhaps more strongly indicates the tone of a believer’s spirituality, than the light in which the Scriptures are regarded by him.
