MEMORISE
Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. – 2 Timothy 2:15
READ: Joshua 8:34-35
34 And afterward he read all the words of the law, the blessings and the cursings, according to all that is written in the Book of the Law. 35 There was not a word of all that Moses had commanded which Joshua did not read before all the assembly of Israel, with the women, the little ones, and the strangers who were living among them.
The ability to read is a skill that is critical to knowledge. You cannot know or put to practice what you have not read or heard about. People who are hungry to know more often read a lot and ask questions. If you want to have vast knowledge, then you must read. Some people think that reading is boring, but this is not so.
These days, many young people cannot hold intelligent conversations because they are not knowledgeable. This is because they would rather spend time on games and social media gists than read. The knowledge you will gain from books cannot be compared with what you will learn from following influencers on social media. If you want to have vast knowledge, read biographies of great men, historical books, inspirational books, good Christian literature, and the best book of all time – the Bible.
In today’s Bible reading, Joshua read the books of the law to the children of Israel so that they wouldn’t remain ignorant. There is no excuse to remain ignorant; read!
