Bible-Reading Tips + Bible Tab Stickers Giveaway
Are you like me who is overwhelmed by so many things the Bible has to say? And yet still wants to finish it because it's fundamental and meaningful?
As a working momma, I am always busy and I'll be honest that Bible-reading, in most cases, became least prioritized. It's my goal to finish the whole Bible this year yet I am not even halfway!
The Bible is its own best teacher. However, it is not like an encyclopedia that's arranged by topic. Each chapters were derived from personal stories so it's break down according to timeline and experiences, hence it's divided to Old Testament and New Testament.
Here are my tips for an enjoyable and meaningful Bible-Reading:
Start with a Prayer
Start your day with a prayer and end it praying more. Praying lets us communicate with God and get real to Him. It lets us open our hearts and enjoy His presence. Before opening your Bible, pray for guidance, ask the Holy Spirit to speak to you and lead you.

Chew on it
Sometimes we say, "I need to chew on that" meaning we'll need to think about it for some time. When we meditate on His Word, we don't just read it. We think about it, reflect on it and we think of ways to apply it in our lives. Chewing lets us taste our food better as it brings out the flavor of what we're eating. Same goes to Bible-Reading, the more we chew on every chunks, the more meaningful it gets.

No Rush
Although we'd like to grow in wisdom and go deep in knowing our God, He's not rushing us. He wants us to go deep and benefit from His Word. Reading alone is different in meditating. Take a break! It doesn't need to be a chapter a day. If a verse goes straight to your heart, take time and chew on it. We can think more like God if we soak in and take our time discovering new things about Him.

Choose a Bible Plan
One way to discover the truth is to study the lives of different Bible characters. You may start reading from Genesis through Revelation or you may journey with God through history and start with the life of Jesus in the New Testament. Whatever it is that you find helpful in your Bible Reading, follow it. No rules. There are tons of plans to choose from, choose what's helping you understand the Bible more and what's helping you grow. No matter what, the Spirit will talk to your heart and lead you into new discoveries.

Make A Journal
This helps me a lot! I dedicate a notebook just for my devotion, written prayers and memory verses. Good thing my Certified Positive Planner has verse bank and daily verse tracker that keeps me right on track! I also created a schedule for each areas in my life to pray for. And, it's so nice to look back to your journals and track how much you've grown!
