The voice in me

Too embarrassed that I wasn’t consistent just 2 months into the year.  From telling myself I will post every day, to twice a week to once a week to never again.

Yeah it’s crazy,  but am back again ,and I will be continuing from where I left. The topics for Feb was patience. And the question for the month was How can one study the Bible effectively. 

I think for this post I will answer on the Bible study one. To be honest people have their own way to understanding the Bible. Just like how we would study in school.  I feel like its all to do with your personal learning or grasping habit.  Some undersrand better when reading in a quite room, no disturbances.  Some need to be in a discussion group of some kind to grasp concepts better. Some would sing rhymes. We are build in our different ways. And sadly won’t fit in a one standard way of doing things. So I can’t say there is a formula for this.

I believe our walk in knowing God starts from somehow and takes us somewhere . You are continously being changed. So it depends on where you are in your relationship with God. And what season you are in.

So far we have gathered that it depends on how you grasp information you read as well as what season or level you are in.

For now, my mind, heart and spirit just feel tired. Which is why I wasn’t posting anything . But during my dry spells if I don’t read the word am doomed because I understand that my relationship with God is a two way stream I have to open my heart to Him especially in times like these for Him to show up. So what do I do ? My reading style back in school was choosing the path of less resistance. If i couldn’t read on my own, would listen to audio or videos, study with someone,  go for discussion. I would do what was easiest but bottom line it wouldn’t just stop studying, because I wasn’t some star student, I just had to put in the work. And putting myself where the information is still coming to me atleast ,I grasp something.

In this my dry season. I make myself available to where bible studies are done. Part of a youth group that meets up every Friday evening. I listen to sermons every morning from church. Part of a discussion online forum that run topics twice a week. Recently joined a instagram study group for youths. For me it’s not stopping but choosing the path of less resistance just to expose myself to the word. 

That’s how best I can answer this question.
