I would like to be able to genuinely say that in every single phase of my life I have had the deepest desire to read my Bible every day. But if I am to be honest, that hasn’t always been the case. If I am being honest, I have to own up to having gone days without reading my Bible.
True, I may have read the Bible from cover to cover before, but just like my physical body, my soul also needs consistent feeding, and the Bible is one of the most precious sources for my daily bread. I know all of this, as I am sure you do too.

The Council meetings would finish the following day, and this was the last Sabbath with all the Council members present. The special Sabbath was held in a rented church near the GC headquarters.
