God’s Word is the bread that feeds our soul. Hunger for it and look forward to your time of feasting each day. Don’t allow it to become a chore or something you check off on your list each day. Rather, remember that you are spending time with your Father who desires to satisfy the hunger in your soul. Anticipate great things from your Bible reading this year. “For the word of God is alive and powerful. It is sharper than the sharpest two-edged sword, cutting between soul and spirit, between joint and marrow. It exposes our innermost thoughts and desires.” (Hebrews 4:12)
