Regularly reading your Bible is an essential discipline if you want to consistently glorify God with your business. But we are bombarded with so much information throughout the day that the nuggets of eternal truth that could have a positive impact on our lives and our work can easily get washed away and replaced in our minds with the urgent and important details of day-to-day life. This is especially true for business leaders.
Thankfully, God has given us some additional disciplines to help us implant the truths in His Word into our minds, hearts, and lives so that they can bear fruit in our walk, our work, and our businesses. In the article linked below I focus specifically on meditating on what you’ve read, scripture memorization, and applying God’s Word.
All of these disciplines are aimed at the same goal — making the scripture that we read fully available to us in our daily lives. This happens because:
– We haven’t forgotten the words and concepts
– We more deeply understand what they say and mean
– We recognize how they apply to our world today
– We signal to our brains that this is important to us
Some of this will naturally happen if we are diligent about reading the Word, and especially if we are reading thoughtfully and attentively (and not just checking “Bible reading” off our daily to-do list). But spending a few more minutes each day going deeper with these additional disciplines will multiply the impact that our daily reading can have on how we think, speak, and act.
