Living each day with scripture...

Get the BIBLE ~ Get the TIME ~ Get the PLACE

Do you daily? Weekly?

I don't think it's merely a function of time. I think it's a function of earnestness and faith. A person must build into their life a regular encounter with God, personally and quietly meditating on His Word.

Since going back to work, I have been able to find that time in the early morning. After a quick bowl of cereal, I pull out my Book of Common Prayer ~ reading a selected section of scripture along with several Psalms.

For me early morning with God has been best because it sets the tone for the rest of my day. John Piper recommends "Get the Bible ~ the Time ~ the Place" and make sure it's planned. He goes on to say,

"You don't need hours and hours with God everyday, but you do need to have time with God orienting your mind, taking something into your heart, letting your heart express itself to God in communion ~ taking faith's renewal and walking with God through the day, reminding yourself of what you saw in the morning."
