A little encouragement

Why hello there September 2011, your finally here huh?! And you bring with you the end of my uni career, and the start of my German adventure! Well, you can't get much better than that can you!
I thought seeing as it's a new month, and my bible reading has gone seriously downhill recently, I'd make an extra effort to try to get into a routine again! I really have no excuse for not putting time aside for my quiet times, its pure laziness!
My Grandad and Grandma get me this little book of daily bible readings. I'm not going to lie, but sometimes I don't really like these; I don't always find them that helpful. But this evening when I opened my bible I noticed that today would be the very first one in this issue. And, as I was starting my new routine I though I may as well have a read of this too. It took me to 2 Kings 22:8-23:3 which talks about when King Josiah and the people of Judah 'rediscover the joy and importance of God's Word'.
I'm just going to quote the last paragraph of the entry that I read ... 'Many today have unprecedented access to God's Word. Let's renew our commitment to 'find' it every day and by our lives show its prominence'.
Now, if that's not God encouraging me to again start seeking his guidance, love, joy, wisdom, etc etc, by reading his word then I don't know what is!
