There was a period in my life (In college...seriously!), I wasn't getting much out of reading the word. I know it was a lot of me and what was going on in my life. I'd try to gain wisdom and knowledge after an amazing chapel or encounter with God, but nothing! NADA! And, I'd had enough!!!! I wanted to grow and the enemy simply didn't want me to. So, here's what I did....I bought a KIDS BIBLE and started reading ..... understanding..... and growing. Yup, it's true. I went to some "lower/beneath me measures" (if that's what you want to call it) to take action. When I purchased it at the Christian bookstore I even told the clerk it was for my little sister. OK....I don't have a sister and I've since then repented of that little lie.
Whenever I meet a person who says this common phrase, "I just don't get anything out of the bible...it's too hard to read," I share this story. You might think differently of me. You might think I'm a little S l o W.........but let me remind you what Jesus said, "Unless you become like a child....." Matthew 18:3
Even to this day, I'll read my daughters' KIDS bibles and chuckle. Why? Because it and what is in it "saved" me at a desperate time in my life.
