Sometimes as Christians we may view reading and studying the Bible as a mere task or something to cross off our lists or an obligation to “get through” — of course, depending on the day, what’s happening during that day, and our moods and circumstances, to name a few factors.

But as Pastor Scott emphasized in our study together this past Sunday, the Scriptures are full of treasures the Lord wants us to find — no matter how busy or stressed or preoccupied we are with our lives. While we may view meditating on them as a challenge due to how busy life gets, we can all trust that standing firm in the Lord for just a little longer is going to show us things we might otherwise miss if we allow life’s roadblocks to obscure how Jesus is communicating with us.
