Someone once approached a great Bible teacher and told him, "Sir, I

would give the world to know the Bible as you do."The teacher replied, "And that is exactly what it will cost you."Would you give the world to know the Bible? By that I mean, would yoube willing to give up something in exchange for knowing God's Word?This is what the Apostle Paul meant in Romans 12 when he wrote, "Donot be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing ofyour mind" (v. 2). How do you renew your mind? By studying the Wordof God.If you have determined to study the Bible for yourself, I want to bring toyour attention three principles from Proverbs 2 that will help you get themost out of Bible study.

First, listen to God and treasure His instructions (2:1). Recognize howvaluable the Bible is and come with eagerness to God's Word. In Acts 2,we read of new believers who gladly received God's Word and devotedthemselves to the apostles' teaching. Acts 17 tells us about the believersin Berea who listened to Paul's message and searched the Scripturesday after day to see if the things he was saying were true. In the sameway, we should hunger for the Word.Second, pray for insight and understanding (v. 3). Ask God to open HisWord to you. The psalmist prayed, "Open my eyes, that I may seewondrous things from Your law" (Psalm 119:18). The next time you openup your Bible, pray that God would illuminate the truth of His Word to

your life and show you how to apply it.As you read, slow down. Take a little time. I would rather read fiveverses with comprehension than 15 chapters of the Bible and neverunderstand a word. Read slowly and carefully, contemplating what theverses say to you and how they apply to your life.The word meditate appears in the Bible often. It means, "to chewsomething over." Think about it. Ponder it. Psalm 1 describes the blessed

man as one who delights in the law of the Lord and "in His law hemeditates day and night" (v. 2).Third, seek it as though you were searching for lost money or hiddentreasure (v. 4). As you read through the Bible, think of it as mining forgold. Do you look for a quarter if you drop it? I do. Do you look for a

dime? I do. Do you look for a penny? I do, depending on thecircumstances. If you want to get the attention of a crowd, then drop apocketful of change on the ground. Everyone will stop to look for it,because there is value in money.Let's say, for example, that you somehow misplaced $1 million. Do youthink you would go searching for it? I think I would. If I will look for aquarter, then I would look for a million dollars. But there is more than amillion dollars in the Word of God. There is buried gold in the pages ofScripture. But you need to get to it and search it and find what is in theScriptures for you.The Bible tells us, "The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul;

the testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple . . . more to bedesired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold . . . and in keepingthem there is great reward" (Psalm 19 7-11).Fourth, apply what you learn in the Bible. Jesus said, "If you abide in Myword, you are my disciples indeed." To "abide" means to stay in a givenplace and draw your resources from something.Let God's Word permeate your life and be at home inside of you. Let theBible fill your life. After all, success or failure in the Christian life dependson how much of the Bible you get into your heart and mind on a dailybasis and how obedient you are to it. If you have a deficiency of theBible in your diet, then you will wither spiritually. If you have a regular

diet of the Word of God, then you will be strong spiritually. Fall in lovewith the Bible, and you will never regret it.Content provided by: Oneplace.com
