![]() In my classroom, I have a short book of Aesop's Fables, illustrated by Charles Santore. Sometimes, I read it to my students; other times, I make them read it to me. Thinking about how important it is to study the Word of God brings to mind one particular story in this book, “The Wild Boar and the Fox.” It tells the story of a fox who found a boar in the forest, sharpening his tusks on a tree trunk. Upon seeing this, the fox queried, “Why are you doing that, pray? The huntsmen are not out, today, and there are no other dangers that I can see." The boar replied, “True, my friend, but the instant my life is in danger, I shall need to use my tusks. There'll be no time to sharpen them then.” The moral of the story reads as this: “Lost time cannot be recalled” (Aesop's Fables, Santore, Charles). If we do not study God's Word now, we will not be ready when we need it. We will end up frantically searching through our Bible, trying to find something applicable, or worse, be stuck without a Bible and have nothing in our hearts from which to draw. So, here are 4 important reasons to study God's Word, now:
