Day 13! Today we will focus on studying the word. Yes, it is good to read our Bibles, but we must dive deeper and study it. Remember the study of the written word is us studying the Word or Jesus!

I remember a few years ago on the Bible app there a lot of people who decided on Jan 1 they would start a plan to read the Bible in a year. I was one of them. I was so excited. I committed to it and finished. While it was a goal I had met, I remember another feeling I had not only at the end but throughout. I felt it wasnt for me and I wasn’t absorbing anything, yet I kept rushing through to accomplish what I had started. This is where the Holy Spirit comes in. It would have been way more beneficial for me to stop the plan and focus on just a tiny amount. God knows us. I have to read and reread just one verse most times to understand it, and thats okay! I use to look at it as a flaw, but now I don’t. I use it to my advantage. Is my memory great? No, but remember God also knows the intent of our heart so He knows if you want to know Him, who He is and what His word is really about or if it’s just something you’re doing out of obligation. I will never stop trying and asking for wisdom and understanding! ❤️
