If it does, you have some serious problems. We all have needs that can only be met by the Bible. A great way to measure your relationship with the Lord is to measure your relationship with the Bible. If you have no relationship with the Bible you have no relationship with God. There are holes in our lives that can only be filled by the Bible. If you are bored with the Bible you will be bored with God Himself. When we are farthest from God is when we are farthest from the Bible. When there is something wrong with our relationships with the Bible there will be things wrong with our relationships with God. When I get into the Bible everything in my attitude and my life gets better. When I neglect the Bible everything goes downhill. Multitudes of our needs are met by the Bible and ONLY by the Bible. We neglect the Bible at our own peril. Before God gave me an interest in Himself I had no interest in the Bible. A commitment to God should always be accompanied by a commitment to His Word. When I am into the Bible the solutions to many of my problems fall into place. When I am not satisfied with the Bible I am not satisfied with my life. Without the Bible my life is unsatisfying.
