The best advice I ever received...

In England I once met an old man who had been introduced to Christ by a a fellow soldier, a relative stranger during World War II. The man who invited him to follow Christ knew he would  not able to continue the relationship due to the ravages of war. So he gave the young soldier the best advice he could before moving on...five simple words..."Read your Bible every day."

The old man told me he had experienced the sinking of two ships out from under him in the days following his decision to follow Christ, as well as many other challenges following the war. But he followed his friend's advice and said to me with the perspective of his 80 years, 'it's the best advice I ever received.'

Let me invite you to do the same. Reading the Bible can be as simple as taking a few minutes to read a chapter each day and meditating briefly on it's meaning for your life. Let me share also an overview of a daily 'quiet time' which I read shortly after responding to God's grace and which has shaped my life to this day. I hope you will consider prioritizing it into your schedule also.
