How to read the Bible daily by *Takergirl*

"I love reading the bible, get something differnt out of it each time."

How I did it: just do it, you know that bible you have just sitting there collecting dust? pick it up and read. it is the best book ever. I love learning more and more about Jesus.

Lessons & tips: The bible is clear that God conisders 40 days a spiritually significant time period. Whenever God wants to perpare someone for his purpose,he took 40 days:

Noah's life was transformed by 40 days of rain
Moses was transformed by 40 days on Mount Sinai.
David was tranformed by Goliath's 40 day challenge.
Jesus was empowered by 40 days in the wilderness.

it's typical and average for most people to do the same thing at the same time, everyday for 40 days for it to become habit.      

Resources: Bible,praying,commitment.

This is great! I’m reading it alot more, but trying to do it daily. do you just skim verses? what do you focus on?

I try

to only focus on one book at a time. but sometimes when I’m doing devotionals I read a verse that interests me and I will stay in that book. I take my time and let everything sink in befor I go on and read another book sometimes I will read a
chapter again and again just to make sure I understand what it says and what God wants to should/tell me.

my favorite book is Psalms.
