How to Read the Bible Everyday
The world we live is one that is organized: everything has its place and to be done at its time. What happens in the life of many young people such as myself is the inability to find time to read the Bible and assimilate the Word of God on a daily basis.
The excuses for it are abundant; from being too tired to not having made enough time. It’s excuses like those that stop us from getting closer to GOD.
But how do we get to the point where we read the Bible everyday? How do we read the Bible everyday?
Science and a large number of books say that it takes about 21 days to break any habits that you may have, from smoking, to drinking and any other addiction that a person may have. This same concept can definetly be applied to making any good habit.
By following these steps during twenty-one consecutive days, your mind will become accustomed to reading the Bible daily:
Do it at a fixed time and place.
Pray to God to help you understand His word.
Read the passages carefully.
Think about the text read.
Choose the most beautiful verse or the words that speak to you the most. Copy them in a notebook. Tell them to others. Think about it during the day.
Pray
Go and obey; do what God has told you to do
The entire process can be done in the span of 35 minutes to an hour depending on the text that you decide to read.
There is no reason not to read the Bible - it should be your anchor through good times and bad. The Word of God is filled with promises and truths that are yet to be discovered by you.
We hope that this Bible 101 will help open your eyes to new concepts, answer questions and bring you closer to GOD.
