Reading through the Bible, along with prayer is the essential way to grow in Christ!
If you want to develop your faith as a Christian, then you must set aside time for
prayer and reading the Bible. Yet, so few of us do so!

You must ask the question, “what gets in the way of my time with God?” How much
does television, over-working, or hanging with friends take of you and your time?

Do not let this Book of the Law depart from your mouth; meditate on it day and night,
so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous
and successful.  Joshua 1:8
