In your journal, write down the things that stick out to you from today’s Bible reading. Respond to what God shows you as you feel led (confession, thanksgiving, etc.)

When we read the Bible
on our own effort it can seem repetitive and condemning. Through human eyes,
the Bible seems to be comprised of lists of unattainable standards. When we
read the Bible with the help of the Holy Spirit, it gives us life. The Holy
Spirit desires to speak to us through the Scriptures. If we are humble enough
to listen, we can hear God speak in a personal, new way every time we pick up
the Bible. God will meet us and talk with us, using His written Word to build a
relationship with us. He will prompt us to intercede for others as we read and
give us practical ideas to love people. When we walk with God in this manner,
descriptions of a godly life will inspire us to love and serve Him more.
Prayer
and Meditation
1. Ask God to grant you
more humility when reading the Word. Ask Him for an open heart to hear Him
speak to you in your quiet times.
2. Think back to where
you were before you submitted your life to Jesus. Thank Jesus for all of the
things He saved you from and all of the ways He revealed Himself. Spend some
time worshipping Him as our Saviour and Redeemer.
3. Look back over the
chapter you read today. Ask the Holy Spirit to highlight a verse or passage and
show you how to use it to intercede for someone.
