Give God Time

Modern spiritual research confirms something the psalmist already knew: daily Bible reading has the highest correlation with spiritual growth in all its dimensions. It's not church attendance, or giving, or service—it's the daily reading of the Word that impacts your transformation the most.

Psalm 119:105 describes the Bible as a lamp and a light. In a world filled with confusion and conflicting opinions, God's Word illuminates. It shows you where to take your next step. It doesn't necessarily reveal the whole way at once — a lamp doesn't illuminate miles away — but it does give you enough light for the next step.

To make Bible reading a sustainable habit, you need three things: a set time (the same time each day), a simple plan (don't try to read the entire Bible in a month), and a guiding question (what is God telling me today through this passage?).

Start with one chapter per day. If that's a lot, start with five verses. The important thing is not the quantity but the consistency.
