Like the cell phone, the Bible is a communication device. It is called “the word of God” for good
reason. The Bible is one of the chief instruments Yahweh uses to speak to His people. Much is
revealed as a person compares their behavior regarding their cell phone and that regarding their
Bible.

Recognizing that a cell phone allows an individual to stay in communication with other people, and
the Bible assists them in staying in touch with God, which one do you grab before you go out the
door in the morning? If you have previously experienced God speaking to you through the pages of
Scriptures, would you not want to check the Bible often to see if Yahweh has some new message for
you? Are not Yahweh’s messages more important than those received from friends, family, and other
people?

When was the last time you turned back to get your Bible when you realized you did not have it with
you? Have you ever turned back to get your cell phone when you realized you did not have it on your
person? If you encountered an emergency situation, would you be more likely to call out to God first,
or reach for your phone and call somebody to help you?

When was the last time you received a word from the Father as you read the Bible? When was the
last time you received new revelation when meditating upon a passage of Scripture? When did you
last sense your heavenly Father speaking as the Bible was opened before you? Is it possible that there
is a correlation between the time you spend in the word of God and the frequency with which you
hear His voice?

Have you ever heard God speak something to you that you did not want to hear, or hear Him give
you some direction you did not want to obey, so you tuned Him out? Do you avoid reading the Bible
because it might lead to conviction that God wants to change things in your life? I admit that I am
at times prone to silencing my phone when someone calls me and I do not want to talk to them at the
moment. Have you considered that an absence of Bible reading is man’s way of silencing God’s
voice? It is like setting your cell phone to mute.
