September Challenge Reminder!
2009 September 22
Have you tried our September Challenge yet? Earlier this month, we challenged you to mix up the personal devotions routine. Here were our suggestions:
- Start your devotion time out with a song of praise. Play a CD and sing along!
- Get out in nature. Take a walk with your Bible. Find a shady nook or sunny spot (depending on your mood) and settle in.
- Tape the verse your memorizing around your house. Try the mirror in your room, in front of your toilet, the dashboard in your car, or on your refrigerator. I have even taped it up in the shower…hey, I can meditate in there!
- Buy devotional CDs, a Christian book on CD, or the Bible on CD. I have a friend who downloaded the Bible on to her mp3 player. She listens to scripture all day long.
- Take some quiet time to watch the sunrise or set with God.
- Our time with God is a sweet fragrance to Him. So light candles in your devotion area to enjoy a nice scent as well.
- Do you wake up in the middle of the night, unable to sleep? Have a little devo time then. Pray about whatever is on your mind.
- Leave for work 15 minutes early. Use that time to pray over your day of work.
- Instead of getting mad during your commute, get with God. I use my drive time home to pray for situations that happened that day.
- Group devotions! I love reading books together and discussing them with other Christians.
- Make a long distance friendship a little bit closer by reading a book of the Bible together. Call, email, text, Facebook or Tweet each other about it!
I just tried one of these this past weekend, and I’m glad I did. How about you? Let us know if you gave it a shot!
