Bible Note: Greetings, my friend! Here's what I do and how I find topics: (every day) - "My Utmost For His Highest" by Oswald Chambers - "Tozer on the Holy Spirit" by A.W. Tozer - "Our Daily Bread" by RBC Ministries - Daily Manna Bible Verse - Reading Through the Entire Bible in a Year The Source Book? The Bible of course! Doing one of the above most of the time produces its own 'daily' topic for me! But other times, I just have to rely on Scripture itself. Sometimes I look at Greek and Hebrew words, just to discover where and how they are used differently throughout Scripture.. But the 'object' is to keep it a bit 'spontaneous' and different every single day! Where do I find time for it? I make time. I watch very little TV, and I try to do it all before I get on the internet, and come to this Forum. I read Tozer and Oswald when I get up in the morning to set the tone of the day early, then I read my Daily Manna Bible verse while at work, and read "Our Daily Bread" during Lunch. Then, when I get home at night, I settle in for the "real" meal of the day, and read my specified verses of the day, reading through the Bible in a year's time. Today, I read the entire book of Habakkuk. Tomorrow, it will be Zephaniah, and then Haggai. Coming up soon is the New Testament again! :-) Today's Daily topic for me (10/08/2003) was on Psalm 78:4; 79:13; 102:18; 145:4; and 146:10. :-) I "find" my topics through the various sources above, sometimes I hear something or read a verse at church that I would like to "investigate", or hear something from a fellow Christian brother or sister.. :-) Blessings to you, Makarios |
