This Bible Reading Habit Could Transform Your Life
By Movieguide® Contributor
Author Sheila Walsh has a habit that changes her mindset — and it starts in the word of God.
“One of the things that one of my friends, Dr. David Jeremiah, has encouraged me to do is he said, ‘Okay, Sheila, read three Psalms out loud every day. Because it’s good for your ears to hear what your eyes are reading,'” she shared on TBN.
“And I read this thing by a man who lived in the fourth century, Athanasius — Godly, Godly man — and he said, ‘Whereas most of the word of God speaks to us, the Psalms speak for us,'” she explained. “They give us a language of true prayer.”
“And I’ve discovered as I’m reading Psalms out loud, I can start in the worst place,” Walsh continued. “You know, it can be a day when I’m not doing well. I’m worried or I’m concerned about something. When you read the word of God, when you enter into worship, it shifts. Because this is what is true. It doesn’t mean that the things going on around us are not true. But this is what is true eternally.”
Walsh frequently speaks about how we can hold onto God’s truths in all seasons of life. Her book, “Holding On When You Want to Let Go: Clinging to Hope When Life is Falling Apart,” dives into this topic even more.
“Through Scripture and compelling stories, beloved author and speaker, Sheila reminds us that even though we all face challenges and heartaches we didn’t see coming, God has been writing our story from the very beginning–and by the power of the Holy Spirit, we can see miracles unfolding all around us,” a synopsis reads.
Walsh also posts different truths and Bible verses on her Instagram account.
One post is a quote that reads, “Jesus loves me, this I know.”
“Over my life I have learned and forgotten so many things. This one thing remains-Jesus loves me, this I know,” Walsh declared.
Another post highlights Psalms 27:13, which says, “I remain confident of this: I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.”
Movieguide® previously reported on Walsh:
THE 700 CLUB’s Sheila Walsh sat down on TBN to share why she wrote her faith-based book, “It’s Okay Not to be Okay: Moving Forward One Day at a Time.”
“This phrase in this title of your book, ‘It’s Okay Not to be Okay’ what do people say when they see that?” a TBN host asked Walsh.
“Well, initially some people questioned me because it’s like well, I thought the whole point was we’re supposed to be okay once we come to Christ. And…you know what, I tried that for years,” the LIFE TODAY co-host said.
At the age of 11, Walsh gave her life to Christ after her mother shared the Gospel with her.
Her mother said, “’Sheila, not only is Jesus Christ your Savior and you get to make him Lord of your life, but you have a Heavenly Father watching over you,’ but what I heard was I’ve got one more chance to get it right, whatever my earthly dad saw in me that made him seem to hate me. I don’t want my Heavenly Father ever to see that I’m going to be the perfect Christian if it kills me, and it almost did. I really based my relationship with God on me getting everything right and me being the perfect Christian, on never messing up.”
