One of the hardest things for most believers to do is to have a consistent daily time with God. I am convinced that this struggle is keeping many followers from becoming the man or woman for God that they truly are meant to be. There are many reasons of why this is the case. There are life events that get in the way…there is often sin that goes on unrepented that diminishes the filling of the Holy Spirit in our lives…and there are certainly many, many more. But if God has brought you to this article today, I am thankful that you are here and searching for Bible verses that will show the importance of quiet time with God. I have broken up some of the verses into three different categories below. Please read these prayerfully…
Romans 12:2 “Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.“
Bible Verses On The Importance of Scripture In Our Lives
Joshua 1:8-9 This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do according to all that is written in it.

Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go.”

2 Timothy 3:16-17 All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.
James 1:22-23 But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man who looks intently at his natural face in a mirror.

The only way to get to know someone intimately is to spend time with them. If you are married, think of when you were dating your now husband or wife… If you are like most people, when you are first getting to know someone you desire to spend every free moment together to get to know them as good as you can and if your marriage is healthy, that thought should last for your entire life together. The same is true in our relationship with the Lord. Hopefully, you want to read His words to you and to meditate on not only their meaning in Scripture, but there relevant meaning to your life today. God’s word is powerful and will give us the peace that passes all understanding.
My prayer today is for you to again (or maybe for the first time) for you to fall in love with the words of God (the Bible). May you desire to hear from God today and each day of your life.
