1 - READ THE WORD
A time to study
“All scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.”
2 Timothy 3:16-17

2 - Reflect
“May the Bible keep from becoming a decorative object on the shelf in our living room", those had been my father's words and that is precisely what was happening. For several days I looked at the Holy Book and could not bring myself to read it. When I was young, I took advantage of my free time to do a thorough study of the Scriptures. Not only did I do it as a leisure activity, but I was really prepared to do a deep study and reflect on what I read. I often shared some thoughts about what I studied with my brothers, and my father enjoyed seeing us do this.
The routine and the rhythm of life that I was leading had taken me away from reading even though I felt the need to resume it soon. It is important that we dedicate some time in our day to reflect on a verse of this Sacred Book. It will help us to get through situations that confuse us or in which we do not know how to respond. We can find many experiences and lessons in the Bible, that we can apply in our daily life. The word of Our God will guide us, and provide encouragement in difficult times. The Scriptures will be references along our path, we must consider it in our meditation and prayer. When we stop reading the Bible it will start losing the ability to incorporate its solutions in our own experiences.
