Keep God's Word Close at Hand
Keep God's Word Close at Hand
把神的话语放在手边
"He should keep it with him all the time and read from it every day of his life." (Deuteronomy 17:19a NCV)
存在他那里，要平生诵读，好学习敬畏耶和华—他的 神。 申命记 17:19a
For most of the 2,000-year history of the Church, only priests got to personally read the Bible, but now billions of us have access to it. In spite of this, many believers are more faithful to reading their daily newspaper than their Bibles.
对于大多数的2000年历史的教会,只有祭司要亲自阅读圣经,但现在我们数十亿人可以。尽管如此,许多信徒比起圣经他们更有信心去读每天的新闻。
It's no wonder why we don't grow. We can't watch television for three hours, then read the Bible for three minutes and expect to growth.
难怪我们不成长。我们可以不看三小时电视，读三分钟的圣经并且明天多一点点。
Many who claim to believe the Bible "from cover to cover" have never read it from cover to cover. But if you will read the Bible just fifteen minutes a day, you will read completely through it once a year.
许多宣称自己“完全相信”圣经的人却没有完整的读过圣经。但是如果你每天阅读圣经15分钟，你一年可以读完整本圣经。
If you cut out one 30-minute television program a day and read your Bible instead, you will read through the entire Bible twice a year.
如果你每天抽出30分钟的看电视时间用来读经，你可以每年同读整本圣经两次。
Daily Bible reading will keep you in range of God's voice. This is why God instructed the kings of Israel to always keep a copy of his Word nearby: "He should keep it with him all the time and read from it every day of his life" (Deuteronomy 17:19a NCV).
每天的读经可以让你在神的话语中。这就是神指示以色列王一直保留他的话语的副本“存在他那里，要平生诵读”申命记 17:19a
But don't just keep it near you; read it regularly! A simple tool that is helpful for this is a daily Bible reading plan. It will prevent you from just skipping around the Bible arbitrarily and overlooking sections.
不仅仅是把圣经放在你的身旁；时常阅读！每天的读经计划将是一个很好的。这会阻止你只是跳跃的阅读或者简略的阅读。
Talk About It
With what projects or hobbies do you show great discipline in your attention to them? How can you apply that same discipline to your daily Bible reading?
How do you think 15 minutes a day in God's Word would change the way you approach your everyday life?
讨论一下
有什么项目或者习惯能够使你严格的遵守纪律？你能否用同样的规则在每天的读经中？
你如何看待每天的在神话语中的15分钟，这将会改变你每一天的生活方式。
