But his delight is in the law of the Lord, and on His law [His precepts and teachings] he [habitually] meditates day and night. - Psalm 1:2 (AMP)
Part 35 of 38
How Often, How Long, How Much
Scripture
It’s natural to have questions like, How often should I study God’s Word? and How long should I study? Well, the Bible never tells us how long to study—it just says we’ll be extremely blessed as we regularly study and meditate on the Word. But I think it’s helpful to compare studying the Bible—our “spiritual food”—to the way we provide our bodies with natural food.
Just as our bodies absolutely require food to live, we also regularly require God’s Word to grow, mature, enjoy our lives and have success. Growing in our relationship with God is one of the most important things we can do. I personally spend most of my time with the Lord in the morning. This is when my mind is the clearest and I feel the freshest. I think the important thing is to give God your best and set aside time when you know you’ll be awake and alert.
