“Brother Maynard†details his thought process for buying a new Bible. The following idea really convicted me:
Once when he was giving a concert, I heard Michael Card say that he was reading his daughter’s Bible, which he explained that he bought each of his kids a Bible and read it before giving it to them. And as he read it, he made notes in the margins, speaking directly to whichever child’s Bible he was reading… so that years later as they read it, their father would be speaking to them in the margins concerning the text and its application for their lives.
I find that my quiet time is inconsistent at best, and usually the excuse comes down to how busy my life is. When life gets busy, God gets cut out. However, the added incentive of having something to pass to my children is certainly food for thought!
