Several years ago, I was cleaning my house when I realized the Bible on my bedside table hadn’t been touched in months—except when I dusted. Conviction hit me hard. I’d drifted so far from daily communion with the Lord that I didn’t even know how to find my way back.
Finally, I picked up that Bible and scrawled a simple prayer in the margins: “Lord, help me. I only pick up this Bible when I dust.”
That was all it took. Not a long prayer, not a polished prayer—just a desperate one from a genuine heart. Slowly, His voice began to cut through the silence again. I started talking to Him, listening for Him, noticing His presence. It wasn’t overnight, but that one short plea became the first step back to constant communion with Him.
When I heard Josiah Queen’s Dusty Bibles earlier this year, it reminded me of that moment. The more dust our Bibles collect, the more our hearts do as well.
This week’s focus: pick up your Bible every day. Read a favorite passage. Open to a new one. Let God’s Word settle into your heart and mind until reaching for it becomes part of your rhythm of life.
🎵 Dusty Bibles (Josiah Queen, 2025)
We got dust on our Bibles, brand-new iPhones
No wonder why we feel this way
We walk with our eyes closed, blind leading blind folks
And I’m done with those idols and dusty Bibles
You only get this one life
I don’t wanna sit and watch it pass me by
