As followers of Jesus, it is important for us to take time to worship the Lord and to devote ourselves to him. Worship and devotion stabilizes us on His truth, it helps us learn about His character, and it draws us closer to him. But he doesn't force himself into our lives — instead God fills the space that we make. So be intentional: block out some time, go somewhere you won’t be distracted, and be with Jesus. What kind of space will you make for God, today?

Set a Schedule

Routine is even more important when we have lots of flexible time on our hands.  We will be more likely to actually read God’s Word if we schedule ourselves a consistent time to do it.

Set a Goal

Rather than letting the Bible randomly flop open to a passage each day, it’s good to have a plan.  If you don’t have a goal you’re currently aiming for (like, our CCF New Testament Challenge, for example), select from the options listed below.

Engage God’s Word

Here are some creative ways to engage God’s Word:

• Lectio Divina - here’s a tutorial for this ancient practice of praying through Scripture:  https://vimeo.com/239194540

• A chapter a day - sometimes connecting with God is as simple as picking a book of the Bible and reading one chapter each day.  Psalms and Proverbs work really well for this, because each chapter can stand on its own. 

• Watch a Bible Project video about a book of the Bible.  These videos are not the Bible, but they sure are a helpful companion to what you’re reading, or they might spark your interest in something you’d like to read!  They are excellent. https://www.youtube.com/user/jointhebibleproject
