Devotion Tips

1) Be consistent- This will work best if it becomes a habit. Having it at the smae time everyday will help make it so.

2) Be flexible. This sounds like it goes against the first but let's face it. Life interferes. You don't have to be perfect. There will be times you will eithere be behind, work ahead or just have to skip that days devotions. Accept it but continue the study the next time.

3) About 20 chapters a week will get you through the bible in a year. You don't have to do this or at least not necessaruily the bible in a year. IT IS A GOOD THING TO TRY TO GO THROUGH THE BIBLE AT YOUR OWN PACE.

4) gO AT YOUR OWN PACE. It is better to do 5 minutes a day consistant than try to do 30 minutes or an hour and give up.

5) Don't be afarid to not understand everything. There are places where the bible is clear and plenty of paces where it is challenging to say the least. Use bible aids or ask your pastor when you got a tough nut to crack.
