The bible is not to be read smartphone style....

This one is a reminder for me too.

Basically I have been having some dry Bible reading sessions lately, I don't get anything out of them.

I have found two possible solutions which have worked for me, I'd like to share them.

1. Read slowly- I mean this, read slowly- like a proof reader with a document, I caught myself reading the bible as if I was browsing my text messages or SW on several occasions today- chew and enjoy God's word- this is not a race!

2. Spend x minutes (time yourself) focusing on God's glory- this should get yourself in a better mood for a great bible study!

If you have any tips, I'd love to hear! ☺️

Have you tried Lectio Divina? It is latin for divine reading and christians used it from the beginning of scripture to read Gods word.

Step 1: Read
Step 2: Meditate
Step 3: Pray
Step 4: Contemplate
@Random3838 Thankyou for reminding me- will give this one a try!
