why devotions?

Devotions are a part of the Christian experience.  We deliberately take time to think about God and His wonderful love.  Tools to help with this abound.
Today I want to ask why? Why do we feel the need to read our Bibles?  I believe it's because of the power in God's word (Hebrews 4:12).  I also believe the Holy Spirit joins us in the process (Romans 8:16). I can't find the author, but someone observed, "the Bible is the only book that has the author present when you read it." What a true statement!  God lives inside of the believer and His voice draws our attention to His word.  I like how the Psalmist in Psalm 19:4 prayed about this:    Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer.

 Enjoy your next devotion!  Praise God!
