2. How to Read the Bible Daily
Daily reading is a really important aspect of our lives. There are a lot of distractions that take our eyes off God. Therefore, it is easy to become distracted by social media and get lost in our wants and wishes.
God calls us to not want things of this earth, but to focus our attention and time on Him. He will fill us up more than social media anyway. Even if you read just a little bit each day, you will see growth!

So why Bible study fellowship?
You too can join a BSF near you! Each week there are notes, chapters to read, questions to answer, lecture and a small Bible study group for learning with others.
The one thing we don’t always understand when reading is the traditions of biblical times. Since we aren’t really understanding the context in which the Bible was written, it is easy to get confused. In joining BSF, you hear about the traditions and where they stem from. This also makes remembering the stories and people in the B
I would seriously urge you to find one near you, click here to join – also free!

Prayer
Dear LORD, I thank you for the person reading today and their willingness to seek You. Please, lead the way for them as they are wanting to know You more. Place people in their path that know You so they might gather more information about who You are and how much You love them! Help them to feel comforted as they go about their day and their work. I thank You, LORD for them, Amen.
Sometimes, we forget how much God loves us. I find that Bible verses around my house and workspace help. You can download my Free Bible Verse Printables here!
