This is a great question. There are a ton of resources for studying God’s Word. However, I think that might be the biggest problem. If there was only book to read, I think we would be in pretty good shape. Get book-read book. However, there are literally hundreds of Bible translations, not to mention the thousands of devotional books.
Where to start? I see four possible ideas:
- Open your Bible and read a little each day. I know, I know, some of you are driven people, so you like to try to knock off the whole thing. We are in this for the long game…take a breath and take in a little of God’s Word each day.
- Subscribe to a few “quick hit” type email devotions. I like the videos at www.YourTimeofGrace.org or the simple devotions from www.Timeofgrace.org both sites make it super-easy to subscribe to the regular emails.
- Jot down thoughts, prayers ideas or questions you may have so you can remember them or ask questions/investigate later on.
- Pray before or after your regular devotion time. Regular is important. For me, I try not to have my first sip of coffee before I read some in my Bible.
Hope this helps, if you are looking for resources, please reach out,
