Take the helmet of salvation and the
sword of the Spirit—which is the word of God.
Ephesians 6:17 CSB
In just a few short days we will close out the first half of the year and begin downhill slide towards a new year. I always feel like the years go faster and faster; how are we already finishing June?!
In January many people begin a Bible reading plan or a commitment to read the Word every day. And many people start strong but at some point they begin to fade away until they are rarely picking up their Sword.
Life gets in the way. Schedules get full. We struggle to understand what we are reading. We just become lazy. There are many reasons why our consistent Bible reading fades. But the truth remains that we need the Word of God.
He answered, “It is written: Man must
not live on bread alone but on every word
that comes from the mouth of God.”
Matthew 4:4 CSB
As we head into the second half of 2025, renew your commitment to dive heart first into the Bible. Make a plan that works for you; when you will read the Bible, where you will do it, and what Bible plan you want to use. If your schedule is too full, it is time to reevaluate your schedule. Make time to spend in the Bible and in prayer every day. It doesn't have to be hours long, it doesn't even have to be all at one time. Just be intentional with carving out time each day. When you struggle to understand what you are reading or struggle to know what God is trying to show you, press on. It's okay to slow down, to study a little deeper, to meditate a little while longer, even to ask for help. Just don't give up. Don't stress about a timeline or rigid schedule, simply focus on being in the Word.
Let's walk into the second half of this year as women in the Word of God every day.

Discussion:
1. Is it hard for you to stay fully committed to a regular Bible reading schedule?
2. Are you ready to jump back in and tackle the second part of 2025 in the Word?
