Top reasons to read the Bible

If you missed Firm Foundation tonight, the adult small group wanted to help you stay connected! Tonight in preparation for what the kids will be learning Sunday, the adults discussed what some of the top reasons to read the Bible are. Below are the top reasons they shared. Join the conversation and let us know your top reason.
Alone time with God; get away from the world and listen to God (and even without explaining that, children will see your example and understand that it is important)
Increases our understanding of God and us
Help to understand what's happening in your life
Other people have survived so we can too - great examples of perseverance and faith
Prepares us for the future as well as we learn to trust
'cause God said so!
Speaks to me as a person; i'm not anonymous to God; I matter to God
See who God is and that God is consistent
You're not alone
May be feeling same things that others have, yet they trusted God and survived (God is good)
Read daily, so our children see that reading scripture is a part of our lives that feels normal.
