Last week I challenged you to re-commit to reading scripture on a regular basis, and I suggested beginning with 1 Timothy. I hope you accepted my challenge and that it has been a blessing to you.
Today my challenge if for those who are already reading on a regular basis to consider if what they are doing is still working for them or if any changes need to be made.
A change that I will be making is to go back to reading the bible in print rather than primarily on electronic devices. Having God’s word available on my phone has been a blessing, but I have noticed that I read it in a different way when I sit down to an actual print book.
Here are some possible changes you could make (if you need to):
- Read a different translation of the bible.
- Read in a new location or at a different time.
- Draw, journal, or doodle about what you read.
- Read aloud or listen to an audiobook version.
- Read a different format (print vs. e-book).
If you already have a routine that works for you, I’d love to hear about that too.
