Tips for Making Time to Read the Bible

Tips for Making Time to Read the Bible
  1. Adopt the motto, “No Bible - No food.” Don’t allow yourself to eat breakfast until you have first read at least a verse from the Bible.
  2. Take a small Bible with you to the gym…before you start your rigorous workout sit on a stationary bike, pedal lightly and read a few verses during your warm up.
  3. Keep a Bible in the bathroom at home…if you’re sitting, start reading.
  4. Keep a Bible in your bag, waiting areas at the doctor’s office, principal’s office or at the mechanic are perfect times to get into God’s Word.
  5. Give up one T.V. show to read the Bible
  6. Give up so FACEBOOK TIME
  7. Keep a small Bible with you at work/school that will easily fit in your back pocket.
  8. Go to a place you like and look forward to each week and read your Bible there. For example, go to Starbucks every Monday afternoon, get a tall white chocolate mocha, and read a chapter of the Bible. Great for getting through those dreadful Mondays. Reward yourself with a treat and with God’s truth.
  9. Download an audio Bible to your iPod. I like this one: link http://www.google.com/search?q=bibles+list+edition+608&channel=linkdoctor

  1. Write a Bible verse on a 3×5 card and keep the card in your back pocket, occasionally pull it out during the day and memorize the verse. You can do this in college while walking across campus from one class to the next, it was a great way to focus on the Bible throughout the day.
  2. Be creative. We are all capable of carving out time to do things we value.
