Last week I challenged you to re-commit to reading scripture on a regular basis, and I suggested beginning with 1 Timothy.\u00a0 I hope you accepted my challenge and that it has been a blessing to you.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n

Here are some possible changes you could make (if you need to):<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Read a different translation of the bible.<\/li>\n
  2. Read in a new location or at a different time.<\/li>\n
  3. Draw, journal, or doodle about what you read.<\/li>\n
  4. Read aloud or listen to an audiobook version.<\/li>\n
  5. Read a different format (print vs. e-book).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    If you already have a routine that works for you, I\u2019d love to hear about that too.<\/p>\n
