I don't read the Bible at all like I should. I have no idea why. There is absolutely nothing on this planet more important than God's word, I sadly just don't make time to read. There are soooo many things in this world that I focus WAY too much attention on....ex. things like Facebook. Instead of making time for God, I make time to click on that little blue app with a "f" on it many times a day. There's nothing wrong at all with keeping up with friends/family, but it becomes very addicting for me. A few years ago, I made a New Year's resolution to read the entire Bible, and I did. The bad part is that I treated it like any other book. Any other book gets thrown into a pile with other books you've read and it collects dust. That's not how the Bible is though. It should be read and studied every single day. Although I have many blessings in my life that I am incredibly thankful for, I feel empty a lot because I have shoved God at the very bottom. I don't have a real relationship with Him. Sure I say my 10 second prayer every morning thanking Him for all my blessings, etc, but that's not enough at all. Today, I downloaded the Holy Bible app on my phone. Thanks to my friend Tessa for telling me about this app! It's free and it has audio! I love audio because I'm not the most patient reader, which is probably why I never read any books, but audio makes it much easier for me to focus lol! I have made a commitment to read/listen to it on my phone everyday since my phone is always with me anyways. There's tons of different reading plans to choose from and you can choose which version of the Bible you prefer. I personally like NIV because it's easier for me to understand. I'm going to open up my app everyday and read and study the verses in my reading plan. God needs to be first, not last. I'm tired of only giving God one hour of my time each week.
