Read your Bible Daily



The story is told of an old man who lived
on a farm in the mountains of
Kentucky with his young grandson. Each
morning, Grandpa was up early
Sitting at the kitchen table reading from
his old worn out Bible.. His
Grandson who wanted to be just like him
tried to imitate him in any way he
Could.


One day the grandson asked, "Papa,
I try to read the Bible just like you
But I don't understand it, and what
I do understand I forget as soon as I
Close the book. What good does reading
the Bible do?"


The Grandfather quietly turned from
putting coal in the stove and said,
"Take this coal basket down to the
river and bring back a basket of
Water."


The boy did as he was told, even though
all the water leaked out before he
Could get back to the house. The
grandfather laughed and said, "You will
Have to move a little faster next
time," and sent him back to the river
With the basket to try again.


This time the boy ran faster, but again
the basket was empty before he
Returned home. Out of breath, he told
his grandfather that it was
"impossible to carry water in a
basket," and he went to get a bucket
Instead.


The old man said, "I don't want
a bucket of water; I want a basket of
Water. You can do this. You're just
not trying hard enough,"


And he went out the door to watch the
boy try again.


At this point, the boy knew it was
impossible, but he wanted to show his
Grandfather that even if he ran as fast
as he could, the water would leak
Out before he got far at all. The boy
scooped the water and ran hard, but
When he reached his grandfather the
basket was again empty. Out of breath,
He said, "See Papa, it's
useless!"


"So you think it is useless?"
the old man said. "Look at the basket."


The boy looked at the basket and for the
first time he realized that the
Basket looked different. Instead of a
dirty old coal basket, it was clean.


"Son, that's what happens when
you read the Bible. You might not
Understand or remember everything, but
when you read it, it will change
You from the inside out." That is
the work of God in our lives. To change
Us from the inside out and to slowly
transform us into his image.

Dear Pilgrim
God bless you my sister and thanak you for sharing this story. It reminds me of the scripture in John15:3 -
Jesus said " You are already clean because of the word which I have spoken unto to you."

I believe that Jesus 'speaks to us through His word. He also said in John 14:25-26
" These things have I spoken to you while being present with you.
But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you al things
and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you."

That is another reason for study. If we have put the word in our hearts and minds the Holy Sprit will have something to ' bring to our remembrance' as He leads us into all truth. Jesus knew that His disciples wouldn't understand everything He taught them , but He left them with the promise that the Holy Spirit would come to teach and remind them.

I also believe that God uses our circumstances that we , at least I, have trouble understanding to teach us His truths.

I always enjoy your blogs and comments because they have such simple and easy to understand truths. You also seem to be a very kind and loving person.

God bless you as you continue to share these wonderful truths with us.


In His service
