Students reading at the Bible

Reading the bible out
loud is simply the easiest way to develop a relationship with the Lord,
Jesus Christ. "How do I know what to pray?" is a question that troubles
most of us at one time or another. After the "Praise You"s and the "Almighty"s
and the "Help me"s, what do you talk about with God? David found the
answer. It is all available to us in the Psalms. Who actually are we
praying to? The Bible describes the throne of God in numerous passages.
In an article written by Leon Zimmerman,
president of
Rosedale
Bible
College
, he recounts,” I began reading in Genesis, Psalms and Matthew but soon
dropped to only Genesis. Time and time again I was startled as I read. A
few of my mental ponderings were, “It actually says this! Wow, this is
blunt! I don’t recall this much repetition. This is powerful! Should I
be reading this to an eight year old? I hope the children don’t ask a
question about this detail.” Something was happening that does not
happen when I read silently. I was thinking through the details more
deeply, visualizing the accounts more clearly and I was impacted by the
message in deeper ways. And, as far as I could determine, all because I
was reading aloud!"
