It's bread, not an energy drink
I am fortunate to believe the Bible as much as I do. I am fortunate
because it answers the hard questions I have and it answers them
with such profound truth that I feel sorry for anyone who does not
believe the Bible is the Word of God. Sadly, I cannot tell you the
number of Christians I have spoken to who do not know what the Bible
says because they do not read it. And in truth, the reason so many
Christians do not read the Bible is because they do not believe it is
God's Word. If people believed God's very Word was available to them
they would read it. I know this because I too went through a long
period when I never read the Bible. It just did not interest me and did
not seem relevant to my life. I wasn't opposed to it, I just did not
care about it. I owned multiple Bibles and went to church regularly but
I was almost completely apathetic towards the Bible and assumed knowing
what it said wouldn't benefit me. I did not view the Bible as bread to
be eaten in order to live but as an energy drink that didn't taste very
good yet might provide a spark of insight if I hit a tough time in
life. Thankfully, God snapped me out of that daze, and I hope if you
find yourself in the same apathetic mindset that He will snap you out of
it as well.
