There was a time before I started reading the Bible daily, where I thought I had to have all the answers. Over thirty years ago when I started reading the Bible from the beginning, many major changes happened in my life. One of those was that I found out what really was in the Bible and many things that weren't that I had heard misquoted from the Bible for years.
Another thing was that I had this sense of calm that has made a MAJOR difference in my life!!! It's to the point that I try not to allow anything to interfere with my "Quiet Time With God" each morning, when I say my prayers and read chapters in the Bible. There have been some times where I had been unable to read the Bible and would later end up questioning myself about why I was so edgy or intense about situations. My reading the Bible allows me to have inner peace that sets the tone for my day. I don't need Yoga or any Middle Eastern forms of meditation to calm me. My daily prayers and reading the Bible do that and then some.
Reading the Bible on a daily basis affects almost every aspect of my life. Not only am I calmer, but I don't worry as much, because I have read how the Good Lord has taken care of His followers, despite those who wanted to harm them. When I read the Bible daily, I no longer want to be a Tally Chart Christian, keeping a mental count of all of the things people have done to upset me, especially those who treated me poorly because of my weight, because the Good Lord forgives me on a daily basis, as well. He that answereth a matter before he heareth it, it is folly and shame unto him. Proverbs 18: 13
