For thousands of years, the Bible has been a vital book for many people and cultures around the world. Serving as a foundational text that provides spiritual direction and principles for living a meaningful life, the Sacred Scriptures encourage personal reflection and moral growth, positively influencing the lives of those who follow its teachings.
Unfortunately, despite all its significance, many people don’t develop the habit of regularly meditating on the Word of God. This may be due to disorganisation, a lack of instruction on how to meditate, or not having a copy of the Bible. As a result, one’s spiritual growth can be compromised. Just as food meets the needs of the human body, the Holy Scriptures carry the Spirit of God and provide the nourishment our soul needs.
Reading and meditating on the Bible fosters an effective connection with God and is one of the best ways to encourage thoughtful reasoning and the use of intellectual capacity. More than merely “reading” the Scriptures, it’s essential to meditate on the teachings they convey. According to Bishop Edir Macedo, founder of the Universal Church, “The person who meditates on the Word of God drinks from God’s ideas. They receive Divine guidance so that everything they do may be successful.”
Amidst the many uncertain and ineffective methods for achieving a fulfilled and happy life, the Bible stands as a hidden treasure. When discovered and combined with obedience, the power of God’s Word can transform lives, deliver the oppressed, restore families and, above all, bring inner peace and salvation. If you wish to connect with God through His Word and learn how to fully benefit from this “hidden treasure”, join us every Wednesday for our Bible Study. We are currently focusing on the Warnings of the End.
It’s important to bring a Bible with you. If you don’t have one, it’s worth investing in a copy of this valuable book. You can also download the Bible app (click here for more details).
