Studying the Word of God does not need time. We should not be counting time when we are studying the Word of God. We are to study the Word of God day and night. The Bible says that the word should not depart from our mouths. That is to say that we should read and meditate on it always.
Matthew 28:20 (KJV) Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
We are learning to be able to obey the commandments of God. How can we obey if we do not study it? Casual reading of God’s Word will not help us. So, we should study the Bible without timing. We should be well acquainted with the doctrines which Jesus Christ gave to the church. We are members of the church and must be obedient to the doctrines of Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ is the leader of the church. He teaches us what we should do.
John 5:39 (KJV) Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.
It is in the Bible that we get to understand what God has for us. We are not going to benefit from the promises of God for our lives if we do not read the Bible and get to understand what God has in store for us. Children of God are blessed with many promises from God. When we understand these promises, we will be able to enjoy them. The person who does not understand what the promises of God for his life are cannot take full possession of them.
So, we must study the Word of God everytime. Whenever there is an opportunity, let us read the Bible.
