We all know that studying the Bible daily is something that we should do as Christians yet many of us struggle to make it a habit. Maybe we find it hard to understand what we are reading, or we get caught up in the busyness of our lives. Soon enough, the study of God’s word becomes an afterthought rather than an integral part of our daily lives.
The Word of God is living water for our souls. It is unchanging and speaks to everything we are going through in life. What it takes is for us to be intentional and set aside time each day to seek God and spend time in His Word. We all yearn to have deep and personal encounters with Jesus, like the Samaritan woman at the well. We don’t have to wait till a church service to have an encounter. An encounter with Jesus can happen wherever you are, as you begin to study His Word.

Revelation 22
Psalm 150
Dear readers, congratulations on reaching the last chapter of Revelation and completing the entire Bible over the past three years! Yet, this is just the beginning. God calls us not only to hear His words but, more importantly, to put them into action. Jesus says, "Surely I am coming soon." May we always remember his words and respond in prayer: "Amen. Come, Lord Jesus!"
- From where and through where does the water of life flow, and what is on either side of the river? (22:1-2)
- Who are the blessed? (v.7, 14) What can they "come" to take? (v.17)
- Why should the prophecy of this book not be sealed up? (v.10, 20)
- Compare this chapter to Genesis 3:22-24. What does it mean for God to restore our access to the tree of life? What's your takeaway from Revelation? Jesus says, "Surely I am coming soon." What does it mean to you personally? Let's spend a moment with God and respond with a prayer, "Amen. Come, Lord Jesus!"
