How To Have A Daily Devotional Time

By John Bell


Christians have to make their life God centric if they want their relationship with the creator to strengthen. The best way to do this would be to have some alone time in the form of a devotional wherein one would try to speak with God and have a reflection time. If one is new to being a Christian, then here is a guide that will allow one to know how to start.

The most helpful way for one to have a devotion time would be to first have a devotion journal. This will allow one to course back to his or her previous ways of thinking so that he or she will be able to further strengthen the belief system. One can look at the journal everyday and also read the contents to know how he or she has changed over time.

Once one already has a nice journal, then the first step would be to begin with a Bible verse which he or she can use. One has the choice to use a daily devotions book wherein the book will have a pre picked Bible verse for each day or one can just choose one from the Bible. For beginners, having a daily devotions book is the more recommended thing to do.

After that, the very next step would be to analyze the Bible verse that one has written. While most devotion books would have their own analysis or interpretation, it is still good if one can make his or her own interpretation to make it more personal. Once one has come up with an analysis, write it down on the journal.

The next step would be to apply the Bible verse in life. The analysis portion is rather important because it allows one to know how to apply the message in life. Once one has determined how to implement the Bible verse in his or her life, then he or she should write it down in order to remember it.

Lastly, one will be writing down a short prayer related to the verse and also saying the prayer afterwards. The prayer is to ask God for guidance when it comes to applying the Bible verse in life. Sometimes, it would be hard to really apply what the Word says which is why the guidance and the help of God is absolutely necessary.

Of course, this kind of activity has to be done with consistency if one really wants to feel the impact in his or her life. With that, he or she must schedule devotion time at least once a week to start off. Eventually, he or she will be able to do a daily devotion until it becomes another part of the daily routine.

For Christians out there, devotion time is a very important aspect of faith. Not only does it allow one to know Bible verses that can be applied in life, but it also allows one to know how God intended for these verses to be used. These are some of the steps to take in order to do this.
