Spiritual sustenance

I've always approached Bible reading as doing complete, cover-to-cover readings. Those are serious, dedicated efforts that pay off immensely.

Recently, though, I read something that made me think differently about that approach. I'll still do the complete efforts, but somebody pointed out that the word of God is like spiritual sustenance (man lives on more than bread alone). It is actual food for our spiritual nature. Thus one should take in that spiritual sustenance daily. I always thought daily Bible reading could get mechanical and have diminishing returns; but now seen as daily spiritual sustenance it shines a new light.

Perhaps for the daily Bible reading I could meditate on a small portion of Scripture.

Anyway, thought I'd pass that along...
