Why read the Bible?

Isaiah 54:4-10

4“Do not be afraid; you will not be put to shame. Do not fear disgrace; you will not be humiliated. You will forget the shame of your youth and remember no more the reproach of your widowhood. 5For your Maker is your husband— the Lord Almighty is his name— the Holy One of Israel is your Redeemer; he is called the God of all the earth. 6The Lord will call you back as if you were a wife deserted and distressed in spirit— a wife who married young, only to be rejected,” says your God. 7“For a brief moment I abandoned you, but with deep compassion I will bring you back.

8In a surge of anger I hid my face from you for a moment, but with everlasting kindness I will have compassion on you,” says the Lord your Redeemer. 9“To me this is like the days of Noah, when I swore that the waters of Noah would never again cover the earth. So now I have sworn not to be angry with you, never to rebuke you again. 10Though the mountains be shaken and the hills be removed, yet my unfailing love for you will not be shaken nor my covenant of peace be removed,” says the Lord, who has compassion on you.

Today I started a Bible Study about Women of the Bible.  Oddly enough,  the first devotion was about God not a particular woman.  Why?  Because no matter the topic, if I am studying the Bible,  I am studying about God and how to be closer to Him.  Looking forward to this study and drawing closer to God every minute of every day through what I see, hear, and by continually praying ( I am going to add another prayer trigger from today on,  so I can never forget to talk to God).
