January 9, 2023 - Good Morning! It’s Monday, January 9.
On January 9, 2007, the boss of Apple, Steve Jobs, presented a new product to the world. He called it the IPhone. Since that day, over 2 billion of these “smart” phones have been sold. 120 million Americans have one - do you?
I stubbornly held onto my old “flip” phone until a year ago, when my daughters put their foot down and insisted that their mother and I MUST get a smart phone. 87% of teenagers have one - so it has to be the right choice! Truth be told, I do enjoy my new phone - I used it to find the facts found in this morning's devotional.
Most of my church members use their smart phones as their primary Bible. I’m still old school with that, though. For me, there’s something comforting about holding my Bible in my hands, turning the pages, seeing the notes I’ve made from sermons and studies from the past. But, in the future, I may change my Bible reading habits. Who knows? You CAN teach an old dog new tricks!
How you read the Word isn’t really important, after all. The question is - How much do you read the Word? I encourage you to make a new year’s resolution to spend more time reading, studying, and meditating on His Word.
Romans 15:4 - Whatever was written in former days was written for our instruction, that through endurance and through the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope.
Meet you back here tomorrow,
Bro. David
