Step-by-Step Guide to Building a Bible Reading Habit

Step 1: Change Your Perspective

  • Understand that spending time with God will strengthen your passion and feelings, rather than waiting for passion and feelings to lead you to spend time with God.
  • Realize that action leads to strong feelings and loving God, as opposed to loving God leading you to take action.

Step 2: Understand the Bible as a Collection of Books

  • Recognize that the Bible is not a linear text but a collection of individual books that must be understood within the context of each other.
  • Look for connections between different books and verses to fully grasp the depth and richness of the Bible.

Step 3: Memorize Scripture

  • Memorizing scripture is powerful as it helps you internalize God's word and have it readily available in your heart.
  • Memorization enhances your ability to recall scripture in conversations and deepen your understanding of the Bible.

Step 4: Pray and Read the Bible Simultaneously

  • Combine prayer and Bible reading by using the Bible as a guide for your prayers.
  • Read a verse and then engage in a conversation with God about its meaning, significance, or your feelings towards it.

By following these steps and incorporating the mindset change discussed in the video, you can develop a consistent habit of reading the Bible and deepen your relationship with God.
