With all of that growing to do, babies keep a tight focus on getting enough to eat. Kids too. They need the right nourishment to develop and thrive, and they don’t willingly skip meals.
In the same way, God’s children need to eat spiritual food to grow and mature.
Reading and studying God’s Word is what feeds you. This sustenance goes hand in hand with prayer. These “spiritual meals” are how we spend time with God and get to know Him better. As you actively apply what you learn from the Word to your life, “you will be blessed by God in what you do” (James 1:25, Good News Translation).
Once you understand that the Bible is as vital to your spiritual life as food is to your body, it’s a lot easier to make it a priority.

Choose a place where you aren’t distracted (including by your phone). After a couple of consistent weeks, you’ll ease into a treasured routine that you won’t want to skip.

Here are four ways to support your routine:
