Be strong and courageous!

Why we face resistance to read Bible?

1. Bible is the word of God.
2. God created this world by HIS word.
3. Jesus is the word of God. (The word was made flesh and dwelt among us.)

When we read and reflect on HIS word, the word enters in us, takes root and God works in us.

But, the evil does not like this and attacks us with sloth and laziness to counter this.

Prayer:
Jesus give us your love, to overcome this force of evil. So that we overcome this evil attack with your strength, Jesus. And love Jesus in all our weaknesses.
