We all need encouragement and the best place to go is to the Bible.
In this blog Post I have tried to gather some Bible passages or Bible verses which will encourage us all around the topic of Reading the Bible
I do believe that we should not just grab a verse and read it on its own but we should always lift our bibles and read a passage of scripture to make sure that we know the real meaning and context of each of the verses we are putting our trust in.
I pray that you will do the same and only use this list to guide you as to where you may find help.
So here are 10 Bible verses or short passages for us to turn to in times when we need to be encouraged about
READING the BIBLE

thoughts and intents of the heart."
