If someone told you that they brushed their teeth once every couple weeks, but they did it for 3 hours.. what would you think?
GROSS! right?
Well, the same thing can be applied to scripture study. We can't read our scriptures every once in while, and try to make up for the days we didn't read by reading for super long periods of time. Just like teeth-brushing, scripture study must be consistent to be effective. It removes the spiritual plaque that builds up every day, and really helps the spirit to be in our lives.
I love the scriptures! They are such a source of strength and light in my life, and I know I need to be a lot better about reading them consistently. Think of all the blessings I could be missing out on!
That's a really good way to look at it. Gross analogy. I read it twice because at first I thought your story was actually true!
