“True Bible-readers and Bible-searchers never find it wearisome. They like it least who know it least, and they love it most who read it most. They find it newest who have known it longest, and they find the pasture to be the richest whose souls have been the longest fed upon it. When one of our missionaries had to read a certain Book of the Old Testament through a hundred times while he was translating it, he said that he certainly enjoyed the hundredth time of reading it more than he did the first, for he understood it better, and it seemed to him to be fuller and fresher the more familiar he became with it.”
Oh, ain’t it the truth!

How rich it is on every reading! I frequent a laundromat and I always read while I’m there. The woman who works there commented one time while I was reading Romans, “I love reading the Bible… No matter how many times you read it, it touches your heart in a different way.”
