CAN'T BE CASUAL OR INFREQUENT--“A casual, infrequent exposure to the scriptures will generally not open the door to the whisperings of the Spirit or provide insights into the Savior's life and character.” (Merrill J. Bateman, Ensign, November 1992, p. 27)

CAN'T BE CASUAL--“There are those who have made a casual, even an insincere effort to test the scriptures and have come away having received nothing, which is precisely what they have earned and what they deserve. If you think it will yield to a casual inquiry, to idle curiosity, or even to well-intentioned but temporary searching, you are mistaken. It likewise will not yield to the overzealous or to the fanatic.” (Boyd K. Packer, Ensign, May 1974 p. 95)

Hinckley, Four Simple Things to Help Our Families and Our Nations. Ensign, September 1996, pgs. 8).

Additional reading to enhance your study:

PLAN AND HOLD SCRIPTURE TIME SACRED--I fear that many of us rush about from day to day taking for granted the holy scriptures. We scramble to honor appointments with physicians, lawyers, and businessmen. Yet we think nothing of postponing interviews with Deity - postponing scripture study. Little wonder we develop “anemic souls” and lose our direction in living. How much better it would be if we planned and held sacred fifteen or twenty minutes a day for reading the scriptures. Such interviews with Deity would help us recognize His voice and enable us to receive guidance in all of our affairs. We must look to God through the scriptures. (Carlos E. Asay, Ensign, November 1978, p. 53, 54)

Additional reading to enhance your study:

GREAT EXERTION--Profound spiritual truth cannot simply be poured from one mind and heart to another. It takes faith and diligent effort. Precious truth comes a small piece at a time through faith, with great exertion, and at times wrenching struggles. The Lord intends it be that way so that we can mature and progress. Richard G. Scott, Ensign, November 1993, p.86

What patterns does the Lord give to help me through my mortal journey?
Additional reading to enhance your study:

SCRIPTURE STUDY HELPS US TEACH AND SHARE LIKE JESUS DID – FROM THE SCRIPTURES: Do we truly know the scriptures and, therefore, the power of God? Or do we err by trusting in man's wisdom? It is imperative that we…make scripture study an integral part of our daily life. Nephi counseled us wisely to 'feast upon the words of Christ; for behold, the words of Christ will tell you all things what ye should do' (2 Ne. 32:3). Not only will such study strengthen us spiritually and help us to draw closer to the Lord, but it will also make it possible for us to teach as Jesus taught: from the scriptures…. Similarly, we too should be prepared to share with others the treasures we find through our study of the scriptures…. (Joseph B. Wirthlin, Ensign, Sept. 1995, 32)

  1. IF WE DO NOT HAVE A DAILY HABIT OF SCRIPTURE STUDY, OUR TESTIMONIES ARE GROWING THINNER - Are you brethren continually increasing your testimony by diligent study of the scriptures? Do you have a daily habit of reading the scriptures? If we are not reading the scriptures daily, our testimonies are growing thinner, and our spirituality is not increasing in depth. We, ourselves, must be studying the scriptures and have a daily habit. (Pres. Harold B. Lee, Regional Representatives Seminar, 12 Dec. 1970, 10)

SCRIPTURE STUDY COMPARED TO A CELESTIAL COMPASS - When was the last time we checked our 'celestial compass' to see if we are still on course?…. When we fail to search the scriptures, we may find ourselves going the wrong way on a one-way highway…. Schedule a time to search the scriptures daily. Scripture study is such an essential part of our 'spiritual nourishment' that we must take time and make it a priority in our daily schedule. Our spirits should never be deprived of the much-needed 'spiritual nourishment' which comes from scripture study. Without this 'spiritual food', our spirits become starved and weakened to temptation. (L. Lionel Kendrick, Conf. Report, April 1993, p. 13,15)

 Elder Bednar: THE SCRIPTURES ARE A RESERVOIR OF LIVING WATER
“The scriptures contain the words of Christ and are a reservoir of living water to which we have ready access and from which we can drink deeply and long. …
“Through normal activity each day, you and I lose a substantial amount of the water that constitutes so much of our physical bodies. Thirst is a demand by the cells of the body for water, and the water in our bodies must be replenished daily. It frankly does not make sense to occasionally ‘fill up’ with water, with long periods of dehydration in between. The same thing is true spiritually. Spiritual thirst is a need for living water. A constant flow of living water is far superior to sporadic sipping” (“A Reservoir of Living Water” [Church Educational System fireside, Feb. 4, 2007], 1, 7, broadcast.lds.org).
