Feed Your Spirit on Other Sources

By Paul Krause

Today is another great day for you to prepare your spot and spend time with God. Be careful not to think things like, “If I don't spend exactly 15 minutes with God then He won’t bless or hear me!” Don’t worry if your time goes over or under—that's okay! He still hears you and loves that you’re intentionally taking the time to spend with Him.

You should always make time to read the Bible, but it’s also good to have other resources and a notebook with you as well. This way as you study the Bible, or some other resource, you can take notes and keep your mind focused.

A great example of this is when Paul was in prison. He had a lot of time on his hands and didn’t want to waste any of it by thinking of worse-case scenarios. So, he asked Timothy to bring him some books and paper so he could write things down. He wanted to make sure his spirit was fed constantly, and we need to do the same.

One great resource you can use is YouVersion, the app you’re using right now! This app is filled with incredible resources on so many topics. Another great resource is Bible Hub. This website has many study tools to help you see the context from the original languages (Greek and Hebrew). If you’re a person who likes a little reading and images, then I would recommend the BibleProject. These guys have done an incredible job at blending artwork and truth as they break things down book by book.

I will leave the choices up to you, and I pray as you find those other resources, God will speak to you through them.
