READ 1 DAY AT A TIME
Read
this Bible study one day at a time in order to get the most out of it. Also,
re-read it over and over throughout the day. Chew on each word, contemplate
them. Listen to God, be open to His direction.
I
cannot recommend enough prayer journaling about your daily reading throughout
the day and all day and night long. After all, prayer journaling makes you
become invested in the material and helps you to think on it, learn from it,
and apply it to your life. But, most importantly, it will help you remember what
you have read and learned and will help you apply it not just today but in the
future.
Also,
look up each verse in your own Bible—even if it’s the same version listed in
the study—and even if you use a bible on your phone, tablet, laptop, or computer.
Why do this? It makes sure I didn’t misquote anything or use the wrong verse,
for starters. I am human, sinful, and fallible, after all. But, more
importantly, looking up each verse for yourself gets you into the Word of God
today. It connects you with the Almighty One and His Holy Word. It is sacred.
We live in an age where some cannot open a bible, ever, lest they are
imprisoned or killed. And, we have no idea how long we will be able to do so
ourselves. Therefore, let’s appreciate fully the opportunity we have to be able
to turn to the Word of God and the Holy Bible.
Get the
most out of each day in this study. Think on it day and night. Take your time.
Do not rush this. Make sure to maximize everything you read, think, and do with
each day’s devotional Bible study.
I also
recommend looking at this book and your prayer journal once a year or more
after you complete it. You’ll get even more out of it as you do.
This is
meant to be a life-changing devotional Bible study; therefore, it will take
work and intentionality on your part. The more you put into it, the more you
will get out of it.
