You have searched me, Lord,
and you know me.
—Psalm 139:1
Reese Kauffman’s mother had a bedtime dictum: every night during Reese’s formative years, she said, “Brush your teeth and read your Bible.”
So, every night before lights out, he brushed his teeth and read a chapter in his Bible.
In his adult years, Reese turned prodigal. Still, he didn’t abandon the practice his mother instilled. Each evening, he brushed his teeth and read his Bible.
The turnabout came the night he read Psalm 139. Far away from home but closer to God than he realized, his life changed forever.
Before hitting the sack, brush your teeth and read your Bible. It will delight your dentist and gladden your God.
Give Psalm 139 a read tonight.
Reading what’s right will
keep you from going wrong.
