you will not be disturbed, the best is the same time and place
each day.

pray and ask God through His Holy Spirit to teach you from
the Bible what he has for you today.

the back turn to and read the chapters listed in the “Daily
Bible Reading Program”.

as you do it each day. This will help you remain accountable.

for the day, marking, underlining and highlighting the verses
that speak to you personally from the Lord. This is what the
Lord has for you to apply to your life today.
- When you read with
an open heart and mind, having asked the Lord for these, he
will speak to you from his word with teachings, correcting
and encouragement - 2 Timothy 3:16-17.
