All of the books and verses in the bible can teach us something, therefore we must not selectively read the bible only choosing verses we like and ignoring verses that scare, bore or convict us. This is not to say that you have to read the bible in chronological order to get something out of it…There is no wrong or right way to read the bible…but you should expand your boundaries of comfort and start digging into the nitty gritty of the good book and get as much out of it as possible. You never know when you are going to be confronted with questions or concerns that you will not be able to answer because you didn't read some obscure passage in Nahum 2… Good example, yeah?? You're going to go read Nahum 2 right after this, aren't you?
Anyhoodle… God gave us this wonderful gift call The Bible, full of History, full of the future (prophesies) full of answers and full of curiosities. Take some time to dive in and blow the dust off the forgotten books.
