Love the Lord your God with all your mind.
Rhythms of daily time in scripture to sharpen your mind through reading, meditating, and memorizing.
It is written: 'Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes
from the mouth of God.'Matthew 4:4
DAILY BIBLE READING
Choose a time in the day to show up and meet God through scripture. Your Bible reading plan will change from season to season; the key is simply to pick something and continue to engage.
Consider engaging the text with the acronym W.A.L.K.
WORD
Invite the Holy Spirit as you open the Word. Take time to read the passage, perhaps more than once.
ATTENTION
Is there something that stands out? Ask the Holy Spirit to "open your eyes," to teach you and reveal Jesus to you. (Try paraphrasing the verse by writing it down in your own words.)
LIVE
Personalize what you have read, by asking yourself how it applies to your life right now. Perhaps it is instruction, encouragement, revelation of a new promise, or corrections for a particular area of your life.
KNEEL
Take time to ask God to walk with you in living out his Word and to continue to reveal himself to you. Remember, prayer is a two-way conversation. Take time to listen to what God has to say.
Helpful tip: Consider adding your Bible reading to one of your morning, midday, or evening prayer times.
