This week is Book Week, and the college is buzzing with some truly unique characters—literally! Teachers are roaming the halls dressed as their favourite book characters, from Snow White to Steve Irwin. It's a wild and wonderful sight to behold!
As for me, I'm a huge book lover, and nothing gets me more excited than diving into a good book. So, can you guess which one is my favorite? Surprise, surprise—it's the Bible. What I love most about the Bible is that it's more than just a book. As I read it, I find that it reads me!
Hebrews 4:12 beautifully captures this: "For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and spirit, of joints and marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart."
The Word of God is alive, powerful, and transformative. It doesn't just sit on the page; it works in us, exposing our thoughts, motives, and deepest desires. Some people shy away from reading the Bible because it reveals truths about ourselves that we might not be ready to face. But that's exactly why I encourage you to read it—so that it can read you.
Allowing God to speak into your life through His Word can be challenging, but it's also incredibly rewarding. If you're wondering where to start, don't worry—I've got some tips for you!
While I love the feel of a good paper Bible, Bible apps are fantastic, too. I highly recommend the YouBible App. It offers the Bible in multiple languages and provides resources to help you understand and apply its teachings. Plus, it has answers to those tricky questions you might have about God.
So, why not give it a try? Let the Bible read you, and see how it can transform your life.
