How to use your life journal ........Ps. George Butron

step 1 Find the Bible reading corresponding today’s date at the back of this book Turn to the reading in your Bible and read. Don’t forget to ask the Holy Spirit to teach you and bring revelation. Mark off each daily reading as you complete it so you know what you’ve read.

step 2 As you read the passages, underline or take not of anything the Holy Spirit impresses on you as a personal word to be applied. When you read with an open heart, God will give you words of encouragement, direction and correction. (2 Timothy 3:16)

step 3 When the Holy Spirit reveals a life lesson to you , turn to a fresh page in your Daily Pages to record what God has just shown you. Then:
* Enter the date
* Title the page
* Record the main scripture
* Write an observation of the particular scripture verse(s) on which the Holy Spirit prompted you
* Write an application as to how you will be different today because of what you have just read
* Record a prayer
* Fill out the Table of Contents with the appropriate details, including a topic that generally describes what you have learned
* Conclude by filling out the Prayer Lost, and interceding for what you’ve written.

Remember, this life journal is designed to serve in your growth with God. You can
be flexible in how you use it, but, be sure to develop a healthy habit of spending
time daily with God.

Some have asked, “When should I have my quiet time – in the morning, or at
night?” The answer to that is - do your quiet time when you’re at your best!
If you are a morning person, have your quiet time in the morning. If you’re
a night owl, then do it at night! The bottom line is that God deserves our best,
so give Him the best part of your day.
