No Bible, no meal
Last night, I made a firm decision: from today on, I will read the Bible for 20 minutes every day. I had made this resolution many times before, but almost always ended in failure. The reason was simple - desire without action.
Today, I nearly failed again. As I was about to put breakfast into my mouth, a thought suddenly struck me: Read the Bible before eating. So I set the food aside and spent 20 minutes in Scripture. It was a wonderful experience.
From that moment, I established a rule for myself: No Bible, no meal. It feels harsh to me, but it truly works.
昨晚我下定了一个决心，从今天起坚持每天读圣经20分钟；我曾很多次立下这样的心志，但是几乎都以失败告终。原因是：只有愿望，没有行动。今天，我又差点失败了。当我正将早餐食物送入嘴中的时候，我突然被一个想法击中：读完圣经再吃东西。于是，我放下食物，阅读了20分钟神经。很美妙的体验。于是，我立下一个规矩：不读圣经，不吃饭。这对我来说，真够苛刻的；但真的有效。
