The bible is God's word and it speaks to us as individual's not just His message for us all. As your relationship with God expands He will give you "eyes to see" and "ears to hear" more and more. You can't just sit and read it like a book, close it, call it done. No no no. It is amazing how much He has packed in just one verse! I will give some links to listen or explore and then give it a try yourself. When you sit and really read a passage and you somehow think it is referring to you then it most likely is. Some experience a "quickening" of the heart so to speak, but the point is you know it's relating to you. That's why it is good to ask God what message He has for you or ask Him your own question, open the Bible where you think and see what message He has for you. 

One day I started getting curious about names, I never knew Bethlehem meant bread. Jesus is the bread of life! I started investigating because I couldn't understand why people would name their child certain names, they were sad or depressing. For example Jabez, "he makes sorrowful". He is remembered because he prayed a special prayer to turn his name around, change his future so to speak. 1 Chronicles 4:10 “Oh, that you would bless me and enlarge my territory! Let your hand be with me, and keep me from harm so that I will be free from pain.”   Further info here...

The links here will be some of the most amazing things that have been found in the bible proving it is a work of the Holy Spirit as there is no way it could be written by man. Especially the dates it was written. For more on God's word see Fulfilling Prophecy page.
