Get More Out of Your Bible Reading - READING THAT LEADS TO HAPPINESS

 Jesus loved the Holy Scriptures, and his feelings were prophetically expressed in the words found at Psalm 40:8: "To do your will, O my God, is my delight, and your law is deep within me."  As  a result, he was happy and successful in serving Jehovah. We too can enjoy happiness and success if we work on getting God's Word into our heart. - PSALM 1:1-3.

In harmony with Jesus ' words and example, let us sharpen our Bible-reading skills. We can improve our understanding of Bible passages by praying, reading at a slow pace, asking questions, and taking brief notes. We can use discernment by carefully analyzing what we read with the help of our Bible-based publications. We can expand our use of the Scriptures, even passages we are less familiar with, by looking for spiritual treasures in such accounts. And we can let God's Word mold us by maintaining the right attitude as we read.  When we apply ourselves in these ways, we will get more out of our Bible reading and draw ever closer to  Jehovah. - PSALM 119:17, 18; JAMES  4:8.
