Thanks for going to the Bible Reading Seminar at #Dunes2013. Here is a plan to get you started. But first, here is the simple process we went over to help you get the most out of your time with God:
P - Prepare: take a moment to pause and ask God to speak to you as you open His Word. A short, 2 sentence prayer will help you focus your heart and mind.
R - Read: read the section of scripture.
A - Ask: ask questions about the verses. And ask yourself, "what stood out?" Then highlight or take a note of those things so you can follow-up on them.
Y - Yes: finish up by saying YES to whatever challenge God is speaking to you. The goal of bible reading is LIFE-CHANGE not just learning information!
Now, here is a 4 week plan to get you going!
