When I was young in the Christian faith, a man came to our church to teach a seminar. It was evident that he knew his Bible very well. I admired his grasp of Scripture, and wished I had the same.
After the seminar, I summoned the courage to ask how he came to know the Bible so well. I expected him to say it was his theological training, or his ability to interpret Scripture. But to my surprise, he said it was a lifetime of just reading the Bible regularly, day in and day out.
That’s pretty simple, isn’t it? What a joy it was to realize I—and every believer—could have the same kind of knowledge. All it takes is faithful and consistent reading.
Lord, open my eyes as I read the Scripture. May my heart be like good soil so the seed of Your Word will go deep and produce a good crop. Amen.

How did men and women in the Bible accomplish great things for God? There wasn’t any secret formula or bestselling book on success for them. In fact, they were ordinary people like you and me. What made them effective was their willingness to obey God—one decision at a time.
