"Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path."
Psalm 119:105
The Bible is the perfect guide to live our lives. God's Word blesses us with wisdom, enlightening us and directing our every step. It is thus of utmost importance that every Christian develop an intimate and personal relationship with the Word of God.
- The first step is to make an earnest commitment to read the Bible daily. Make this a priority in your daily schedule and ensure that it is met without fail.
- Find a Bible reading plan so that you are able to read either portions of the Bible or the whole Bible itself systematically.
- Begin every Bible reading time with prayer. Humble yourself before the Lord, beseeching His wisdom to understand the words you read, to reveal Himself to you as you read. And above all, the courage and will to obey.
- Read and reread the verses for the day, meditating on them – not only while reading, but throughout the day. It is also a great habit to memorize key verses.
- Contemplate on how this Scripture can be applied in your life.
- Conclude with a prayer, asking the Holy Spirit to remind you constantly of what you have learned and for help in applying it in your life.
