How To Change Your Life in Just 10 Minutes a Day
Author: Jinger Jarrett
Someone once said that if your Bible was falling apart, your life is
not.
That's sound advice. The Bible is one of the many tools that God gives
us to not only survive in this world but to prosper. Unlike a lot of
other holy books from other religions, the Bible is a message of hope. It
contains plenty of scripture to give us reason to live happy and
abundant lives.
If you're not reading it on a daily basis, then you're missing out. Not
only that, but by reading your Bible on a daily basis, you can learn
what God's word really has to say on just about everything.
We even have the tools (weapons) we need to protect ourselves:
Eph 6:13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may
be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
Paul tells us in Ephesians the weapons we have to protect us from
Satan:
Eph 6:14 Truth to gird your loins; breastplace of righteousness
Eph 6:15 Shoes - gospel of peace
Eph 6:16 Shield of faith
Eph 6:17 Helmet of salvation, Sword of the Spirit (word of God)
Eph 6:18 Prayer
With these tools, you can defeat anything that Satan throws at you.
So, to get started, you need to start reading your Bible. There are
several ways that you can read the Bible that are easy, and these
techniques will help you.
First, you can start at the beginning. If you read three chapters a day
and then five on Sunday, you can read the Bible start to finish in one
year. This should only take you about 10 - 15 minutes a day.
I do it first thing in the morning. It's a great way to start your day.
You can also use a daily devotional of some kind. Sites like Radio
Bible Class offer you a daily devotional that not only gives you a
devotional and scripture passage each day, but you also get the Bible in a
Year.
You can also choose to skip around with Scripture. This is important if
you are looking for a way to really change your life in a meaningful
way. (You can always go back and reread the whole Bible later).
You can actually read whole books at one sitting. Here are several
books that will help you in finding the joyful and abundant life Christ
talked about. Read each book, one at a time, every day for seven days. By
doing this, you'll embed the message into your long term memory. Read
it before bedtime, and it will make you sleep better.
1 John - If you want to know if you're really going to heaven and that
you're saved, this five chapter book will tell you. Written by John,
one of Jesus's disciples.
2 Peter - This is a short discourse on living the Christian life.
Written by Peter, one of Jesus's disciples.
James - If your Christian walk isn't what it should be, it will be
after reading and applying this book. James doesn't cut any corners here.
He tells it like it is, and it's easy to be offended after reading this
book. However, if you follow what James says, it will change your life.
Written by James, Jesus's brother.
Phillipians - This is one of my favorites. Paul really reveals the
glory of Jesus in these passages, and he shows you how to eliminate fear
and worry from your life. Memorize these passages.
There are many others. The Bible is full of wisdom that's as relevant
today as it was when it was written.
If you really want to change your life, and change it for good, then
read the Bible, and apply it to your life.
