How to Read The Word 1. Read the Scriptures through reg ularly. Read, alternately, portions from the Old and New Testaments. Begin at the beginning of each. Mark where you leave off, and begin there the next time. When you have finished each Testament, begin it again. 2. Read with prayer. You cannot by your own wisdom understand the Word of God. In all your reading of the Scriptures, seek carefully the help of the Holy Spirit. Ask for Jesus’ sake that He will enlighten you. 3. Read with meditation. Fonder over what you read. The truth is thus applied to your heart. You see new and deeper meanings. It is better to think over a little than merely to read a great deal. 4. Read with reference to yourself. Never read only with a view to in structing others; but for your own teaching. Receive blessing yourself first, and you will communicate it to others. Always ask yourself, “How does this affect me?” 5. Read with faith not as other statements which you may believe or not believe, but as the Word of God. Receive every word as true, with simple childlike trust. Rest upon the promises. Read them as made for you. 6. Read in order to carry into prac tice. We must accept His Word as being the revelation of His will. In it He tells us what to be and what to do. He expects us to be “obedient chil dren.”—Geo. Mueller. A lady once complained to Frederick the Great: “ Your Majesty, my husband treats me badly.” “ That is not my busi ness,” replied the king. “ But,” she continued, “ he speaks ill of you.” “ That,” said he, “ is none of your business." The Sin of “ Not” 1. The curse of not helping (Judg. 5:23), 2. The punishment of not minister ing (Matt. 25:45). 3. The evil of not doing (Matt. 7:26). 4. The anathema of not loving (1 Cor. 16:22). 5. The consequence of not coming (John 5:40). 6. The destruction of not obeying (2 Thess. 1:8). 7. The sin of not believing (John 16:9). Another “not.” If the conditions are not being met, your prayers will not avail. Read Psalm 66:18; James 4:3; Mark 11:25, 26. —Selected.

M. What a wonder is the world, which witnesses to its almighty Maker. But no less wonderful is the Word; its very structure likewise testifies to the A l mighty, for the Bible is itself a standing and an astonishing miracle.
