5 Ways to Make the Most of Your Bible Reading
- 1 min reading time
Whether you’re new to Scripture or looking to go deeper, a few simple habits can help you stay consistent and truly connect with what you read.
1) Start with Prayer
Before you open your Bible, take a moment to pray. Ask God to open your heart, quiet distractions, and help you understand His Word.
2) Focus on Consistency, Not Perfection
You’ll miss days. We all do. Don’t let that discourage you. Just start again where you left off. A steady rhythm, even if small, builds long-term understanding.
3) Reflect, Don’t Rush
After reading, take a minute to pause. What does this passage reveal about God’s character? What is He teaching you today? A few reflective moments can leave a lasting mark on your heart.
4) Journal What Stands Out
Write down verses, themes, or questions that capture your attention. Journaling helps you notice patterns in how God speaks and reminds you of His faithfulness over time.
5) Connect Scripture to Everyday Life
Ask how what you read can shape your words, attitudes, and choices. The Word of God is powerful, it’s meant to be lived, not just read.
