"Do not expect always to get an emotional charge or a feeling
of quiet peace when you read the Bible. By the grace of God you may expect that
to be a frequent experience, but often you will get no emotional response at
all. Let the Word break over your heart and mind again and again as the years
go by, and imperceptibly there will come great changes in your attitude and
outlook and conduct. You will probably be the last to recognize these... Go on
reading it until you can read no longer, and then you will not need the Bible
any more, because when your eyes close for the last time in death, and never
again read the Word of God in Scripture you will open them to the Word of God
in the flesh, that same Jesus of the Bible whom you have known for so long,
standing before you to take you for ever to His eternal home." - Geoffrey
Thomas, Reading the Bible
