Daily Bible Reading & Devotions: Moving from seeing Bible reading as a rigid, guilt-driven item on a checklist (“I have to do my 15 minutes today”) to viewing it as a genuine craving or lifeline (“I want to hear from God”).
I got up earlier, something about the peace of the dawn, and moving away from rigid one-year cover-to-cover plans to deep meditation on single passages. This goes along with Prayer. Transitioning from formal, performative, or transactional prayer to an ongoing, unscripted conversation with God throughout the day (practicing the presence of God). Realizing God isn’t looking for King James English or polished theology, but raw honesty, and learning to spend as much time listening as talking.
