The Bible

I am terrible with devotions and being a consistent Bible reader. Most people read the Bible on Sundays (maybe). While other the more devout seem to pack their reading into their mornings, evenings, etc. I am a part of the third group which has an intense passion for the Bible, but has a sincere lack of time. At the end of the day when your body has officially resolved to only do gross motor functions like brushing your teeth, shoving food in your mouth, and wiping your butt. I think many people fall into this category and that is O.K. if you ask me.
Some people dig into the Bible for theological reasons, others for personal reasons, others even for wicked reasons. For me it is so I can know Jesus more. I believe that this world desperately needs Jesus more and more each day. For me Jesus is a rock that I cling to in the midts of all the waves and confusion of this world. While the world is telling me that I need to be this or that, Jesus is telling me that he loves me for me. While the world is telling me that I should buy this or that, Jesus is telling me that He is all I need. While various stresses are pressing down on me Jesus is saying Mathew I got this. Jesus is so much more...

Ultimately, the Bible points me to Jesus.
