Have you ever noticed how we’ve made spending time with Jesus WAY more complicated than it needs to be? Sweet friend, this is your sign to STOP overthinking and simply open your Bible for 10 minutes today!
I can’t tell you how many women tell me they don’t read their Bible because they:
- Don’t have an hour to study “properly”
- Don’t know where to start
- Feel overwhelmed by all the reading plans
- Don’t understand everything they read
- Get distracted after 5 minutes
The Truth About Bible Time
Here’s the thing – God isn’t standing over your shoulder with a stopwatch or grading your comprehension. He’s just DELIGHTED you showed up to spend time with Him!
Think about it… when your child comes to sit with you, are you analyzing how they sit? Timing how long they stay? Quizzing them afterward? Of course not! You’re just happy they wanted to be with you.
Our heavenly Father feels the same way. He’s not looking for perfect Bible scholars – He’s looking for hearts that seek Him.
The Beauty of Simplicity
Imagine feeling the weight lift as you realize that connecting with God doesn’t require theological degrees or hours of uninterrupted focus. The pressure melts away when you understand that even 10 focused minutes matter.
Here’s what changes when you approach Bible time with simplicity:
- Consistency becomes possible
- Connection replaces obligation
- You actually start LOOKING FORWARD to your time with Jesus!
The Enemy’s Favorite Tactic
The enemy lives to complicate what God made simple.
He loves nothing more than convincing you that Bible time is:
- Too difficult
- Too time-consuming
- Only for “spiritual giants”
- Something you need to be “good at”
But Jesus simply says, “Come to me” (Matthew 11:28). And then He goes on to say, “Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart” (Matthew 11:29). No prerequisites. No minimum requirements. Just come as you are.
Start Simple Today
Open your Bible to the Gospel of John. Pray and invite God to teach you and speak to you through His word. Read one to three verses. Think about what it tells you about WHO God is. Write down any insights you received. Pray a simple “Thank you, Lord” prayer.
That’s it! You’ve just had meaningful Bible time.
When we strip away the complications and just show up consistently, something beautiful happens – we grow closer to Jesus naturally, one simple moment at a time.
Remember, the goal isn’t perfect Bible study – it’s relationship with a perfect Savior.
