•
Preferably at the beginning of the day when you are more awake
• It is also good to carry a small Bible with you during the
day in case you have some free time.
•
Try to read a few psalms during the day - they will help you with
prayer and meditation.
• It is also good to read a portion of Proverbs (and Ecclesiastes)
each week. They contain lots of advice for living a godly life.
• If you are new to Bible reading, try following the Basic
Bible Planner contained on this disc.
• For more advanced readers you will find it immensely beneficial
to use the Standard Bible Planner, which
covers the Old Testament once, and the New Testament twice per year.
•
The Word of God must always be approached in humility, and a prayer
should be offered for increased understanding before you begin.
•
Always try to write down questions and notes while you read.
• Notes can also be written down in the margins of your Bible.
• A concordance and dictionary are very good for looking up word
meanings and related passages.
•
If possible, do your Bible Readings with your family, each person
taking turns to read 5 (or 10) verses each, aloud.
• After each portion of reading, ask questions and try to think
of related passages elsewhere in the Bible.
• Make sure the room where you read is well lit. This will
help you concentrate properly.
We
pray God will bless you with your study of His Most Holy Word.
