Hilltop Reads...Day Four: A Tip

Here is something that I believe is a Bible reading/studying necessity: never read or study your Bible without a notebook and pen/pencil by your side.

There are at least two reasons for this:

1. When your read or study the Bible you will almost always have thoughts occur to you about the other things that need your attention; such as: the groceries you need to get for dinner, a deadline that you forgot, an appointment that you are not prepared for, a TV show that you want to "Tivo," etc. But if you have a notebook handy, you can write these things down and continue your reading without the fear that you will forget them.
2. When you read or study your Bible you will often come across a verse that speaks meaningfully to you or that you have difficulty understanding. But if you have a notebook handy you will be able to write the passage down so that you will have a record of how God spoke to you or of the question(s) that you would like to further pursue.

Blessings,
