Fresh Start Monday

I like Mondays. I really do. It is kind of a day for new beginnings, freshening things up and starting the week off right. I like to clean house on Mondays. It's a day for airing out your laundry and cleaning things up.

So, let's do just that. 

Has your Bible study time become mundane?

Are you just reading a devotional--and figure that's your time with God?

If so...I bet you have wondered away without barely a look in this direction every day.

Let's get a fresh start. Let's STUDY our Bibles again. 

Not just read a verse and move on. 

Please, set some serious God time aside today. Even if it doesn't fit into your schedule.

I am sure that you will find it blesses you more than sewing a few stitches or reading a dozen blogs.

Dig out your journal...or if you need to get excited about Bible study again...buy/make a new one!

(even a new spiral notebook is nice. and cheap.)

Consider adding the following sections to your notebook/journal:

1) Prayer. ACTS. (See the page up at the top right that says "How to Pray" for suggestions.)

2) Personal study notes.

3) Sunday Sermon notes--you'll listen better if you take notes.

4) Verses to commit to memory/ special verses.

5) Accountability page--(The page where you keep track of your boo boo's. This is a good page to update at night before prayer and bed.)

6) Prayer to God (unlike keeping a tally of things in number 1, this is a personal letter to God.)

7) Pilgrim's Progress. (or any other book/study you are in.) 

Today's Passage? Finish up Proverbs 15. (We left off on verse 31 I believe, but I would just read all of 15 again if it were me.)

And have a fresh Monday!
