What is Wrong with a Clean Manger?

[S] Proverbs 14:4 --
4 Where no oxen are, the manger is clean,
But much revenue comes by the strength of the ox.

[O] A clean manger without oxen defeats the purpose of its existence.  It is supposed to house animals like oxen which will work to produce revenue.  That means the manger is supposed to be smelly, dirty, worn out, and messy.  As no one expects the mangers with animals to be clean, no one's Bible who expects to find hidden gems through consistent working of digging into His word should be clean either.  It should bear the signs of being worn out, with constant efforts of wrestling with God.

[A] Ever since I got my new Bible this year, I've not used it much mainly because I've been reading the online Bible and because it's been convenient to turn to today's Life Journal reading and to journal into my blog, I want to start reading using my new Bible (book) to write into it and to use it so it won't stay like a clean manger without oxen.

[P] Dear Father, it is such a blessing to live in a place so full of abundance and convenient tools such as having the Bible right on my smart phone.  There's nothing wrong about reading Your word that way but please protect my heart so it won't become lazy or convenience-seeking when it comes to reading and "chewing" on Your word.  In Jesus' name.  Amen.
