What Does It Mean to Examine the Scriptures Daily?

Consider This Scripture

These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the Scriptures daily, whether those things were so. — Acts 17:11

The Bereans were commended not just for listening, but for checking what they were taught against Scripture itself. Their example reminds us that discernment requires both humility and diligence.

Each day really trying to find out what they say and how it applies to me. I enjoy the meat and deep subjects so I’m not deceived.

Maybe 4 or so years ago, Brandon asked ab New Years resolutions and that he may read the Bible cover to cover that year (Brandon not sure if my memory is correct). Anyway, I did this. And have each year since then. When “life comes up” I am able to find comfort in familiarity- does that make sense?

I can appreciate the concept of daily scripture reading, however, we must also think back to the time. I am sure life was a bit less fast paced so to speak. I try hard to read this site everyday, but that is not even possible and I consider myself slow paced. I also think that reflecting on the day or an event and using our spirit to discern is trying to “study scripture daily”. at least that will be my answer when the time comes.

God Bless,

Chris

To be honest, I am consistently inconsistent. At least I have some consistency in my life :laughing:.

It’s been weighing on me to set aside time daily for His Word like I used to. Life is good but is busier now than ever, which is why I need the daily dose of His word even more. No excuses, I’m back on the train!
