Intro

3 Outcomes of building a vibrant personal devotional life

 

1.      It will greatly strengthen your friendship with God

How Jesus wants to be your friend (John 15:13), Rom 5:9-11 in the Street Bible.

 

 

M.O.T 52  How’s our friendship with God at the moment?

 

 

2.      It will enable you to share His values and feelings

      Matt7 highlights the importance of applied bible reading.

      Biblical literacy is critical to learning to thinking Christianly

 

 

      M.O.T 53 Do we have a systematic approach to bible reading built in to our lives?

 

 

3.      It will help you when God seems distant

Philip Yancey “Any relationship involves times of closeness and times of distance, and in relationship with God, no matter how intimate, the pendulum will swing

from one side to the other”.

 

 

      M.O.T 54 Keep going, keep praising, keep praying, keep reading

 

 

 

For Reflection
