I really hope that you are enjoying yourself as you read through the word of God. But imagine this, what if God required you to copy your own complete Bible by hand for your own reading and studying instead of simply buying a standard Bible off the shelf? Do you think that would make a difference in your life?
Well, this is exactly what God required the king of Israel to do (Deuteronomy 17:18-20). Keep in mind that this is long before Israel ever desired a king, but God in his infinite wisdom was setting the requirements for Godly leadership in his kingdom. And even though a king of Israel could not drive to the local Barnes and Noble to purchase a Bible, they had plenty of scribes they could commission. But that wasn't what God said. He said "he shall write him a copy of this law in a book" and study it all the days of his life.
You see, this hand copied book of Scripture was to be the king's guide while he ruled. It symbolized the amount of dedication and zeal toward God the king must have. Imagine if our world leaders did this as a part of their inauguration. How would the world be different. Now imagine how your life will be different simply by faithfully reading the word of God and obeying.
I hope this 90 day Biblereading challenge is only the beginning of a new life devoted to God's word.
