Word of exhortation about enjoying Bible 關於讀經之勸勉的話

...To be a good and living Christian, one must eat every day. If you want to be strong and healthy, you have no alternative but to eat. However, do not eat in a haphazard way; you must eat properly, and you must also eat at the right time. I speak this word especially to the young people. I know that without exception you all are busy. Actually, everyone is busy; no one is sitting idle. Satan will not allow anyone to sit idle. It is needless to mention that you are going to school or doing a job; even if you do not do these things the whole day, you will still be busy. However, do not let your busyness be your excuse. Rather, you should remove the word busy from your human life. Young people, I advise you to save the time you spend on making telephone calls for gossiping. That will give you plenty of time for reading the Word and eating the Lord. Actually, this does not require very much time; half an hour a day is very good.
When we eat our meals, we should eat properly, not irregularly. For instance, I set a schedule to eat three times a day—breakfast, lunch, and dinner—and I stick to the schedule firmly. Likewise, when you come to eat the Lord’s word, you must have a definite schedule. It should not be that you eat when you are happy, and you do not eat when you are not happy. Rather, you eat when you are happy, and you eat even when you are not happy. Furthermore, do not be selective in what you eat. You need to read the entire Bible. The best thing to do is to have a daily reading of some portions from the Old Testament and some from the New Testament in sequence. Begin with the first chapter of Genesis in the Old Testament and with the first chapter of Matthew in the New Testament. Obedient children eat whatever their mother serves, and they grow to be healthy. But those who are choosy in their eating are usually not healthy. I hope that you will receive my little word of exhortation. (A LIVING OF MUTUAL ABIDING WITH THE LORD IN SPIRIT)

要作一個好的基督徒,活的基督徒,天天都得吃。你要作一個強壯的人,身體要健康,你就非吃不可。但不要亂吃,要吃得對,並要按時候吃。特別是你們青年人。我知道,你們沒有一個人不忙。其實人人都忙,誰也不是閑著。撒但他不會叫人閑著的。不要說你讀書、作事,你就是整天什麼事也不作,你也會很忙。但不要讓忙成為你的藉口,應當從你的人生中,把這個忙字去掉。你要告訴人說,在你的人生中沒有忙字。我奉勸你們年輕人,只要把你們打電話、說閒話的時間拿來讀經,吃主的話,就綽綽有餘了。實在不必太多,一天能有半小時就很好了。

我們吃飯要吃得對,不要亂吃。譬如我定規一天吃三次,早餐、中餐、晚餐,時間一定守牢。照樣,今天你們來吃主的話,也一定要有定規,不是高興就吃,不高興就不吃,乃是你高興也吃,不高興也吃,並且你最好不要挑著吃,全本聖經都要讀,最好一天讀一點舊約,也讀一點新約,按著次序讀。從創世記第一章開始舊約,從馬太第一章開始新約。聽話的孩子都是媽媽擺上什麼,他就吃什麼,結果他就健康地長大。所以,挑嘴的孩子都不健康。我盼望你們接受我這一點勸勉的話。《在靈裏與主互住的生活
