Books

What book could you read over and over again?

One book I could and do read over and over again is the Holy Bible.

When I first opened the Bible seven years ago I was completely overwhelmed. “How does anyone even understand this stuff?” Were my thoughts. But as I began trying my perspective and intent changed. I prayed and asked God to help me. My pastor suggested I do the Bible opening tactic. I got my Bible, closed my eyes, and opened the Bible. It opened to Psalm 34 when I read, “When the righteous cry for help, the Lord hears and delivers them out of their troubles. The Lord is near the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in Spirit.” The 17-18th verses. It spoke to me.

As I continued to read I began to notice patterns and recurring themes like redemption, and sacrifice that weaved through the text. With each passage, small details began to jump out at me that connected to things I seemed to be struggling with or going through. And offered comfort and clarity.

Each day I read the Bible no matter how many times. I feel as though God is speaking to me through my reading.
