25 Ways to Read Scriptures- Day 25

Conduct a "Habits of living in the Scriptures" audit

All believers are called to immerse themselves in the word, but there are hundreds of ways to do this.  What ways best resonate with your temperament, your weekly rhythms, and the season of life you are in?  Take a few minutes and scroll through the 25 ways that are in this blog.  Write down 3-5 of them that fit you the best.  

Then, picture a typical week and discern how these 3-5 might be incorporated into the flow of your week:  identify specific days and times, and write these wherever you keep track of your daily schedule.

Finally, stick to this new rhythm for the next 25 days, that is until Feb. 24.  Psychologists tell us that it takes us 25 days to truly establish a new habit.  Go for it.  Remember what God himself says about his Word:

"As the rain and the snow come down from heaven, and do not return to it without watering the earth and making it bud and flourish, so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater, so is my word that goes out from my mouth:   It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.  You will go out in joy
    and be led forth in peace; the mountains and hills will burst into song before you, and all the trees of the field will clap their hands."   (Isaiah 55:  10-12)
