It is certainly never a bad thing when one with faith in Christ saturates themselves in the Written Word. It is like the neverending story. Each time you pick it up there is some new nugget!

Amen to that.

Further it seems to me that when you come to the Bible looking for God, He speaks.

I mean there's what you might call cognitive reading (I'm sure there's some official term somewhere) and then there's listening reading. That's for what I would glibly call "knowing ABOUT God."

And one of MY personal reasons for confidence in the Scriptures as inspired is that they are a temple where God's Word for ME, right now, is. And that's "knowing God."
