Every morning, set aside a special time often called a “Quiet Time.” During this time you can talk with God and let Him talk to you through the Bible and His Spirit. There are many effective methods that can be used for daily time with God. The PRESS method is the one we suggest.
Pray… Begin by thanking God for the new day, and then ask Him to help you learn from what you will read. Ask God to settle your heart and mind. You may find listening to worship music helpful.
Read… Read a Bible passage. A great way to start is each day read a proverb, a psalm, and a chapter out of the New Testament or Old Testament. Another way is to begin with one of the Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John), and then move to some of the shorter letters such as Ephesians or James.
Examine… Ask yourself these questions about what you read: What do I need to learn about God, myself, other people, or life? What do I need to stop doing- sins, bad/selfish habits, and hurtful acts? What do I need to change in my beliefs, attitudes, or actions? What do I need to do in obedience to God’s learning and direction?
Summarize… Discover what the passage reveals about God and His character, what it says or promises about you, and what it says or promises about others-your parents, friends, teammates, and so on.
Share… Talk with God about what you’ve learned. Also, take time each day to share with someone what you learned in your time with God.
Setting up a daily time with God is extremely important, perhaps the key to developing spiritually. If you will commit to doing these over the next month, you will have established a habit that is bound to change your life in amazing ways. Keep the habit going by reading through other books of the Bible.
Psalms 90:14 “Satisfy us in the morning with your unfailing love, that we may sing for joy and be glad all out days.”
