The Bible
The Bible, quiet times spent with God, prayer—these are things we need when we embark on a relationship with God. We desire to connect with God, but there are so many things that get in the way or discourage us. Our schedules are jam‐packed and it seems impossible to squeeze God in. Everywhere we turn, there is someone vying for our attention or needing something.
But, what trips us up the most is not having a clear picture of
what it looks like to have a quiet time. How does one study the Bible in order to better understand God’s heart? When reading the Bible, a submissive heart and attentive ears are a must. Top this off with a heavy dose of vulnerability and transparency, and it is easy to see why some avoid reading the Bible and having quiet time. The invitation never says the process is going to be easy, but it does guarantee that it will be rewarding and life changing.
