There are great rewards for studying Scripture.
In Psalm 19:7, King David records two biggies: "The law of the LORD is perfect, reviving the soul; the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple."
Reviving the Soul - God's word is like cold, clear water handed to a man lost in the desert. It's a second lease on life for the soul.
Making Wise the Simple - As we continue in God's word, even the dullest among us gains more and more wisdom. And wisdom is something that compounds.
Unfortunately, neither reward is immediate.
But if we truly understood the magnitude of these two rewards of spending time in the Bible, we could muster the patience.
