When I look at my Christian life I think the key to changing is a regular habit of confessing to God. Not that I arrived but I believe this is a means of grace for change that is often neglected.

This is from my daily Greek exercise of sight reading many months ago, courtesy of Vincent S Artale Jr.
Our text is from the Greek translation of 1 Thessalonians 5:16. Here is my translation:
“SENTENCE 3 [TP Τὸ λοιπὸν TP] προσεύχεσθε ‹ ἀδελφοί › περὶ ἡμῶν
Finally brethren pray for usSUB-POINT ἵνα [TP ὁ λόγος τοῦ κυρίου TP] τρέχῃ καὶ δοξάζηται καθὼς ‹+ καὶ πρὸς
in order that the word of the Lord will spread and be glorified just as also forὑμᾶς +›”

Guest Post: The Importance of daily Devotions

I go on long bike rides every Saturday morning, and I have done this for nearly a year straight, (I define “long” as somewhere between 25-50 miles,). Now, when I first started doing this it has hard for me to peddle my bike for any more than two miles, and I can guarantee you that back then the idea of riding my bike 50 miles never entered my mind. But because I gradually increased the distance of my Saturday bike rides over the course of several months, I found it much easier to finish a 50 mile bike ride without being exhausted.

This is a quick post. Are you more of a morning person or night person? Who you are might influence the time you do your devotions from Scripture. But have you consider adding a different part of the day for your devotions? Here’s my thoughts.
