The Art of Reading

Source: The Gospel Coalition

Reading is thinking. 
Of course there's a place for reading enjoyable books merely for fun. 
But for most of our reading, we seek to engage our minds. 
With engaged minds we position ourselves for discoveries into this world, 
into our own lives, and into worship with God in truth.
 
And no matter how many or few books you read, 
read those books in a discerning way. 
Read them in a way that operates out of the fear of God
 and read them out of gratitude to God,
 that he—for whatever reason determined in eternity past—has chosen 
to plant our brief little lives right in the middle of 
the greatest publishing boon the world has ever known.
