The State of Our Bible Reading Habits
In a recent survey of over 11,000 readers, we sought to understand how people allocate their time to various activities, including Bible reading. The results were eye-opening, revealing that many of us struggle to prioritize time with God’s Word.
A Spare Moment for Scripture
Did you know that it takes just 12 minutes per day to read the entire Bible in a year? Or that in 6 minutes per day, you can read the New Testament in 6 months? These manageable chunks of time can make a significant impact on our spiritual lives.
Exploring the Bible in Bite-Sized Pieces
Breaking down the Bible into smaller sections can make it feel less daunting. For example, reading all four Gospels and the book of Acts requires about 10 hours of reading time. By dedicating 20 minutes per day, you can complete these books in just one month.
Prioritizing Time with God’s Word
As we examine our daily habits, it’s essential to recognize the importance of Bible reading and prayer. While social media, TV, and other activities can be enjoyable, they often consume more time than we intend. By intentionally setting aside time for God’s Word, we can experience spiritual growth and renewal.
A Call to Action
Imagine the impact on our personal lives and the church as a whole if we committed to reading the entire Bible in the next year! By making small adjustments to our daily routines, we can cultivate a deeper love for God’s Word and reap its transformative benefits.
