Author says

God was kind to reveal his character to us in Jesus and in the bible. Let's read it.

but his delight is in the law of the Lord, and on his law he meditates day and night. He is like a tree planted by streams of water that yields its fruit in its season, and its leaf does not wither. In all that he does, he prospers.

Psalm 1:2-3 ESV
