Reading Your Bible is the Best Way to Have a Great Day
Dear Friends, Today I want to talk about how reading your Bible is the best way to have a great day! We are into the soul section of the healthy habits series and there is really nothing better for the soul, in my opinion, than reading your Bible. We all have faith in something, because I am a Christian I have faith in God. Nurturing your faith is truly soul food. I believe the absolute best way to nurture your Christian faith is specifically to read your Bible. I say your Bible specifically; because that seems to be the best way for you to have a…
