Shaking up my devotions
I have become trapped in a pattern to my devotions. I wake up in the morning, after hitting snooze a few times I finally get out of bed and sit down on my couch to read a chapter from my Bible, Pray a little, maybe, and then go on my way. Tuesdays my day is filled with a Bible study in the morning and one in the evening, but I feel stagnant. At church today, Pastor Doug Melder, put a call out for things we needed to be delivered from, and I need to be delivered from this stagnation and begin to grow again. I have some Ideas for this, some are to change my attitude, but one main idea is changing how I start my day.
Here is my new plan: I will wake up at least 2 hours before I need to be at work, and at least 1 hour before Bible study or Church. I will start my day with tea and then singing a few songs of Praise & Worship music, any suggestions are appreciated. Then, go into really digging into The Word. I have a large copy of Matthew Henery’s Commentary, and just ordered a new commentary for James, which I will be digging into hard core. So no more “read a chapter and I am done”, no I will be really digging into the Word and examining what I am reading and what it means. I plan to follow this with some quality Prayer, not 100% on what this will look like yet, I will be looking for the Holy Spirits guidance with this.
How do you start your day?
How do you do daily devotionals?
Any suggestions for me?
Anything you need prayed for?
