It effectively works inside of us\u2014inside our brains and bodies, inside our souls and spirits, inside our personalities and homes. It\u2019s a living book, and when we receive it, it rolls up its sleeves. The Bible works on our attitudes, giving us less bitterness and impatience, more love and happiness. It works on our conversation, helping us speak more wisely and confidently. It works on our minds, removing the filth and focusing our thoughts on what is true and noble. It works on our habits, forming us increasingly into the image of Christ.<\/p>\n<p>The Bible does a supernatural work in our hearts. That\u2019s why in addition to reading it daily, we want to memorize its verses, meditate on its truths, and share its message with others. Let the Bible go to work within you!
