“But you, Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book until the
time of the end; many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase.”
Daniel 12:4
“My son, if you receive my words, and treasure my commands
within you… Then you will understand the fear of the LORD, and find the
knowledge of God.” Proverbs 2:1,5
I can’t express enough how important daily devotional is. It is
the source of power that connects us to God. We are strengthened each time we
spend our time with God. But do you have trouble how to have devotional time
with God? Or do you have trouble what to start reading with? Let me share with
you what my mom told me when I was young. This idea will help you get started
with spending time with God and eventually God will show you how to deepen your
devotional time and what to read later on. I am not saying that this is the
best way. It is something that mom taught me when I was young and it worked.
The book of proverbs is a book of wisdom. When you read this
book, I am certain that it will help us gain more wisdom. Wisdom is not just
knowledge. It goes much deeper than that. Wisdom leads to us dealing with things
of life and our relationship with God as well. There are 31 chapters in
Proverbs. If you read one chapter each day, you will read the whole book of
proverbs in one month. When you repeat this each month, then you get to read
Proverbs twelve times in a year! Talk about wisdom!
Our church was founded on the truth of Daniel and Revelation
prophecies. That is where our root is. Yet many of us Adventist Christians have
little knowledge of the prophecies and don’t even know the contents of these
two books. Guess what! There are 12 chapters in Daniel and 22 chapters in
Revelation, which means 34 chapters in total. Just like Proverbs, if you take
one chapter each day (you will need to read 2 chapters on certain days), then
you will be able to read the prophecies in one month! And if you repeat this
each month, then you get to read them twelve times in a year!
