Three Practical Ways to Prioritize Bible Reading

1/18/2026

0 Comments

 
As Christians, we understand that the Bible is our guidebook to life. When we have a problem, we know where to turn - finding answers in the Word of God, through prayer and fasting as we meditate on the Scriptures, hearing the Word preached in a local Bible-believing church, and receiving Biblical guidance from godly friends who will support us in the faith while pointing us to Jesus.

The Word of God is so powerful, and upon that realization as Christ's followers, we trust the Bible for wisdom in making good decisions.

In Hebrews 4:12 (ESV) we learn this: 
"For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart."

Psalm 119:105 (ESV): "Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path."

2 Timothy 3:16-17 (ESV): "All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work."

Those Scripture verses are just a few of many that point out the importance of God's Holy Word - the Bible. It is relevant to every day life, and holds truths that help us walk out our faith daily.

Staying grounded in the Word takes effort because it's something we must choose to do. It happens when we read it, meditate on it, memorize it, hear it, speak it, and act on what we've learned in it. We want to be rooted in the Word so we are deeply and firmly established in it, experiencing growth as it strengthens our connection with God so we can withstand the storms of life.

There are three practical ways to prioritize Bible reading, which are laid out below.
  1. Schedule it like an appointment. Treat your Bible reading as a vital commitment, similar to a doctor's appointment or work meeting. Establish a consistent time each day, whether in the morning, during lunch, or before bed, and adhere to it.​​​
  2. Make it accessible and engaging. Place your Bible in visible locations like the kitchen table, or by your favorite chair, or carry it in your bag for easy access. Using a devotional, journaling, or listening to an audio Bible can enhance engagement and integrate it into your lifestyle.
  3. Link it to something you already do. Pair your Bible reading with another habit, like your morning coffee or bedtime routine. This way, it becomes a natural part of your day rather than something extra you have to remember.
