Some things to help you along the way
March 3, 2009
Here are a few things you can do as you launch into this journey.
1. PRAY. Always pray before you sit down to read. Ask God to illuminate His Scriptures, to show you what He wants to say to you through those passages, and to reveal to you how you can change your life to line up with His ways and His Word.
2. TAKE IT IN. Set aside enough time to take in the Scripture for that day. You don’t want to feel rushed.
3. REFLECT. Find a way to process through what you have read, even if it is just a very little. Journal–write down questions, write down thoughts, write down action items that you need to take in to account as you seek to obey God in what He is asking of you. Find someone you can talk to about your questions and someone who can journey alongside you in accountability.
