Better than a Devotional Bible

Another bit of wisdom from my insightful wife.

After we talked about "Who's the Boss?" she said something like
"I'm not sure I should be reading the devotional Bible."

I'm thinking, reading a devotional Bible is great. So I ask, "Why do you say that?"

She replies, "Because I end up reading the devotionals, gaining insight but not really reading the Bible itself."

I'm thinking, Yeah, I understand that. I find my self reading just pretty much the devotionals in a devotional Bible. And why not, they are full of insight and sometimes bring to light a truth from God that I hadn't thought about.

My sweety continues, "If I really want to get closer to God, I need to be reading more directly from Him."

I'm thinking, Wow, you're right.
