Make God’s Word your first resource.

“For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart,” Hebrews 4:12

In the age of Google, we're more likely to seek answers from the internet before God. But don't forget that God's Word provides all the answers to life's questions. I've yet to find an issue that is not addressed in the Bible. I encourage you to seek God’s Word for the questions you have. His Word is living and active, and God continually uses it to communicate to us in ways no one else can.

Hide God’s Word in your heart.

“I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you,”
Psalm 119:11.

Taking time to memorize scripture now can help during seasons you don't have time to sit down and read the Bible. When we remember God's Word in this way, it is then already in our hearts and minds readily available to us any time that we need it. I know this may sound intimidating, but there's no need to start off memorizing an entire book of the Bible unless you've worked up to that. I suggest starting with a short verse that speaks to the current season you are facing. Write it on an index card and place in areas you know you will see it like your bathroom mirror or the dashboard of your car. Every day that you see your memory card try practicing your verse without looking at the card.

Make a plan to read God’s Word.

Many Christian apps and online ministries offer Bible plans that prove a scripture to read and devotional content for certain amount of days. These laid out plans take the complication out of trying to figure out what to study when you actually make the time. And with the added ability to track your progress, staying consistent in God's Word is that much more fun and attainable.
