There are times when solitude is better than society, and silence is wiser than speech. We should be better Christians if we were more alone, waiting upon God, and gathering through meditation on His Word spiritual strength for labour in his service. We ought to muse upon the things of God, because we thus get the real nutriment out of them. . . . Why is it that some Christians, although they hear many sermons, make but slow advances in the divine life? Because they neglect their closets, and do not thoughtfully meditate on God's Word. They love the wheat, but they do not grind it; they would have the corn, but they will not go forth into the fields to gather it; the fruit hangs upon the tree, but they will not pluck it; the water flows at their feet, but they will not stoop to drink it. From such folly deliver us, O Lord. . . . ...moreCharles Haddon Spurgeon

NIV, The Woman's Study Bible, Full-Color by Thomas Nelson
"I finally finished reading the entire Bible tonight. God is great. Amen.
12/8/21:
I was unsatisfied with my short review, so I decided to add more. I began reading this Bible after my mother's encouragement to develop my faith a few months into the pandemic. I remember waking up early morning, squinting my sleepy eyes, and slowly processing the words. I am not going to lie and say that I understood every sentence; it was complex and hard to follow many times, and I found myself going past those confusing parts. In my second round of Bible reading, I will take a note to scrutinize every verse more. Also, I will need to read a book on how to get most out of reading the Bible. I ordered a different Bible version, and it will be arriving this week. I heard it's recommended to read many versions of the Bible due to content that gets lost in translations.
My bible reading habit is a gentle yet powerful way for me to start the day, and I'm thankful to God for this. Amen. "
