It Leaves an Impression...

Have you ever read the Bible and you feel as if it just doesn't connect or make sense? Sometimes I do and yesterday was one of those days.

I had a some quiet time with the Lord yesterday morning and while I was reading, Proverbs 27, I felt as if the passage of scripture had no impact and I was reminded about something I shared with a group years ago.

Years ago I was speaking to my peers and I shared with them that sometimes when you read the Bible and you won't see or feel anything. I used an analogy (not sure how original it is) of a type writer with no ink being used to type a document and though there was no ink, if you held the paper up to the light you would see the impressions the type writer left. That's what often happens when you read the word of God - it leaves an impression.

Challenged by my own words and I'd like to challenge you. Read your Bible as often as you can so that God may make an 'impression' on your hearts and lives.
