- Read with the intent of knowing God and His mind, not “solving problems.”
- Establish a time and place that you will meet God every day — e.g., on sofa at 6:30 a.m.
- Keep a Bible, pad & pen (and maybe a devotional book) at that location.
- Read the Bible systematically & with balance (history, poetry, prophets, gospels, epistles). Bible reading plans are readily available. Some that I have found helpful are at Discipleship Journal.
- For every two minutes you read, meditate for one minute.
- Keep a log of what passage you read:
- What is the main idea/central truth?
- What does this passage reveal about God?
- What is one key verse that you can think about today?
- Pray the passage.
- Commit to do (at least) one thing that day that will reinforce what you learned.
