I am not sure why but talking about what one does for their devotional time can get weird. Have you ever noticed how a discussion can go from a simple conversation such as:
- “For my personal time with God, I’ve been reading a few verses a day and then praying.”
- “For my personal time, I’ve been reading through a devotional book.”
- “For me, I’ve been reading through a read the Bible in a year plan.”
To more of:
- “Dude, you should slow down, savor but a few verses a day.”
- “You’re not reading enough. I read 15 chapters yesterday. Gold star for me.”
- “Devotional books are for babies. Man up, read the Bible!”
We Christians can be a controlling lot. We love to tell fellow brothers and sisters in Christ what their devotional time with God should look like. Instead of pushing our own way, why can’t we practice encouragement instead?
So encourage each other and build each other up, just as you are already doing.
