There’s little details everywhere, and regardless of whatever happened in a day, I still pick them up and enjoy it. Misplaced nostalgia? Maybe! But I continue to find it somewhat odd that it has this effect – whereas someone reading Job might be looking for the answer to a theodicy, I do so simply for the pleasure of reading God’s Word. I find this odd to describe to other people, but the Bible tends to relax me when I read, regardless of said content.

Its words, though they might not always comfort one’s soul, always comfort in the very act of reading the books themselves. In that sense, the Bible becomes a rock and a shelter in the face of many troubles. Now, that’s not to say my knowledge of Scripture in the vein of, say, memorized oral tradition is that exhaustive, but having such an influence on your life is bound to have some effect.

This especially goes for people who became Christians when they were kids not only are you taught (in a Baptist environment, anyway) that it is the book you should be reading, but you’re also inundated with content from its pages. I would say most, if not all Christians, are taught to read the Bible regularly. 7 And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. 6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.
