Discipline! Or lack thereof....
For several months now I have struggled with my bible studies, mainly finding the time, finding the motivation, finding the right frame of mind with which to approach the Word of God. I'm full of ambition and intention, but fail miserably in practice! Usually life takes over; having 5 kids plays havoc with quiet reading time!
I have various bibles, all with study plans, none of which I have yet managed to follow! So this time I'm going to use a book of mine called Search the Scriptures, which is a bible study guide with questions at the end of each session, and I'll write them all in a notebook I use purely as my own personal Christian "log".
Let's hope putting things down on paper will help me to study, absorb, and put into practice what I read.
What methods do you all use to learn and maintain your "diet" of scripture?
