Can a new piano student play a symphony after only one lesson? Of course not. The student gets better by sitting on the piano bench day after day, playing the scales over and over again, and carefully learning every note on every bar of the sheet music.
Studying the Scriptures is much the same. The more time you spend in God's Word, the more you get out of it, the more God blesses you and equips you to do His calling.
Like the piano student who wants the symphony without the practice, too many Christians expect to get all the blessings promised in Scripture without spending time in God's Word. Based on the amount of time you spend in Scripture, are you more equipped to do God's work today than you were when you became a Christian?
Paul pointed out to Timothy that for Christians to be mature and able to minister to others they needed the finest equipment available, the Holy Scriptures.
God help me to be grounded in Your Word as I minister to others.
