It’s true. Every day is an adventure, sometimes beautiful like a vista from a mountaintop. Other times, the trail is obstructed and we find that most of our day is spent climbing over the gnarled tree roots of our daily struggles.
That’s why the very best thing we can do every morning is set our compass afresh. It doesn’t take much to get our thinking off by a degree or two–and we all know the implications of wrong thinking can be great over time. Our own human heart misinforms us. Satan is ALWAYS waiting to misinform us. Others, in their imperfections misinform us. So there is no more important work than setting our hearts aright before we venture off on the day’s journey.
And nothing does that better than the Word of God.
Right now is the perfect time to scoot on over to your nearest Bible app and find a daily reading plan that takes you through the Bible in a year–even though it is March! A few months ago I realized that in the busyness of life, I was becoming rusty on my recall of certain Scriptures. Another reason to take myself back to the schoolroom.
For me, the best way to get the Word into my heart is audibly. On a walk. With my dog.
On my Bible app there is a button to press which reads the passage aloud. By the end of my walk I’m as convicted and encouraged as the Holy Spirit desires. Sometimes I’m surprised at what details I had forgotten from a well-known passage. Mostly, I am impressed with the awesomeness of God and find it easier to move forward in the day with the resolve to do my work well.
So find a reading plan and a routine that DAILY works for you.
