your light will shine when all else fades

I've got a reminder from the Lord through a brother today. Been reading archives.
Him: You no life la. Read archives..
Me: Nothing to do what!
Him: Read the Bible. Until every verse also rhema Word.
God's training me to be hardworking, diligent, something that I've prayed for.
I don't know if he was just saying it casually or what, but God really spoke to me. Haven't I pray to understand Him more, to understand the Bible better? Haven't I prayed for myself to live as a hardworking person?
Sometimes, most of the time actually, I choose to do needless and unfruitful things where I could have used that time to do something constructive. I could use that time to read the Word and grow. So many things I could have done, I do not do.
Romans 7:15. Paul wrote, " I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not want to do, but what I hate I do." And Romans 7:18-19. " I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my sinful nature. For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out. For what I do is not the good I want to do; no, the evil I do not want to do- this I keep on doing."
God, help me. Amen.
