They sang, praising and giving thanks to the LORD, saying, “For He is good, for His lovingkindness is upon Israel forever.” And all the people shouted with a great shout when they praised the LORD because the foundation of the house of the LORD was laid. (Ezra 3:11)
"Bible reading enables us...to enjoy communion with God as He speaks to us from His word, encouraging us, instructing us, and revealing Himself to us." ~Jerry Bridges
