Lessons on the Liturgy – Reading God’s Word
Reading the Bible can seem daunting. Its words, however, are the very words of God and the words of life. God wants us to hear, understand, and believe His Word, and His Spirit works through it to enable us to do so. The first challenge in reading God’s Word is simply to open the book. The devil delights in distracting us with other activities or priorities that may seem more urgent, exciting, or important. So resist, and frustrate the devil! Sit down and open your Bible. - An Explanation of the Small Catechism (2017), p. 354
