There can be no more effective way to mute the voice of the Holy Spirit in the Bible than to not read
it. Leave the Bible on the shelf to collect dust and it will speak to no one.

One attribute of those whom the Father has used in spiritually powerful ways is that they meditated
regularly on the words of God recorded in Scripture.

Psalms 119:24, 99
Your testimonies also are my delight and my counselors... I have more understanding than all my
teachers, for Your testimonies are my meditation.

The apostle Paul gave the following wise encouragement and counsel to Timothy.

II Timothy 3:14-17
But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have firmly believed, knowing from whom
you learned it and how from childhood you have been acquainted with the sacred writings, which
are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Yahshua. All Scripture is inspired by
God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that
the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work

Paul himself remained an avid student of the Scriptures until the end of his life. In the same letter,
Paul instructed Timothy to bring him the Scriptures he had left in Troas.

II Timothy 4:13
When you come bring the cloak which I left at Troas with Carpus, and the books, especially the
parchments.

Seeing that the Bible holds so much potential for advancement to spiritual maturity and
understanding of the ways of God, should Christians not clamor out for it as if it were a great and
valued treasure? A recent phenomenon has been observed as people line up outside of stores selling
the latest iPhone or Android based smart phone. Some camp out for days in anticipation of a new
model phone being released. What if people showed the same enthusiasm for purchasing a new
Bible? What if crowds clamored with outstretched hands, pleading to be given a copy of the word
of God?
