Motivation to Read the Bible

Many Christians want to read the whole Bible sometime during their life, but many don’t get the chance to because they don’t always have enough motivation or time. If you are one of these people then you need to figure out what motivates you and how to find time.

Motivation: If you want to read the Bible then that is a start. If you don’t want to read the Bible you should reconsider because it is part of the Christian religion and also a good book to read. One way to motivate yourself to read is to have a prize or treat yourself to something special at the end of each book in the Bible. One idea is to indulge yourself in something that you shouldn’t have everyday like ice cream because that is something that could be a treat for some people. Another idea is you could put money at the end of each book of the Bible and put it in a jar when you finish the book in the Bible and at the end of the Bible you can treat yourself to a trip or other fun activity. The Bible isn’t the easiest or the shortest read in the world but if you have the right motivation it can go fast and you can have fun with it. You know you don’t always have to read it from front to back; you can jump around to different chapters in the Bible.

Time commitment: The Bible takes time to read so you have to make time for you to read out of your schedule. Many book stores or Christian stores will have Bibles that are set up in a way that helps you read every day in order to finish it in a year. Also many apps are available which have this feature. This program can help if you have time everyday to read and you have the ability to keep up with it and not get far behind. Another way to make time is to find a few days in the week that you can read an hour or two and keep that up. This way it doesn’t have to be everyday occurrence, sense lives are busy it would be easier just to read a few times a week but for longer lengths. Find those little times in the day to read the Bible. Even if you read a few chapters at a time, it’s still working toward the final goal of finishing the Bible.

Hope you find a good motivational tactic and time in you life to read the Bible.
