January is called Bible Month in the Philippines. Supposedly a reminder. But reminder of what, really? That we stopped reading the Bible? Not exactly.
Some of us never stopped. In fact, some of us already memorized it. Verses, numbers, context, all stored neatly in the brain.
But that’s kind of the problem.
The Bible made it to our head, but not always to our heart.
The issue isn’t unread pages. It’s unchanged behavior. We can know Scripture and still be impatient, unkind, proud, or harsh. Knowing the verse doesn’t automatically mean living it.
So maybe Bible Month isn’t about reading more chapters. Maybe it’s about actually living one verse properly. Just one. On an ordinary day.
Because the Bible was never meant to be something we show off. It’s meant to mess with our choices a bit. How we react. How we treat people when no one’s looking.
If it stays in the brain, it becomes information. If it reaches the heart, it becomes life.
And honestly, if Scripture is really lived, we wouldn’t need to be reminded once a year.
