How to read the Bible Daily

It is impossible to know God without reading the Bible.

1. Make it a daily habit. As the Psalmist in Psalm 119:105 says, “Thy word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path.” Live your life under God’s direction.
2. Apply God’s word into your life. Matthew 7:24, “Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock”.
3. Pick your time. Usually, mornings work for me, before beginning my daily tasks whether it be work, business, or house chores. Mornings are always the best time for me to listen and meditate on God’s word before it gets too busy. Yours might be different so pick the time that suits you best.
4. Pray before reading the Bible. The word of God is alive. Hebrews 4:12 says, “For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to the dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart”. So ask God to give you understanding and wisdom to apply His word into your life.
5. Memorize God’s promises. Hide them in your heart. You’ll be amazed how effective they are for daily living.
6. Download the YouVersion App or the Our Daily Bread App on your smartphone for daily devotionals. They have amazing topics to choose from. The apps are equipped with a daily reminder to help keep you on track in your daily listening and reading.
