A few years ago, if someone had asked me how my scripture study was going, I probably would have measured it by how much I read.
How many chapters.
How many verses.
How many notes.
How many minutes.
But over time, I realized I was measuring the wrong thing.
Now, when I start feeling like my scripture study isn't enough, I ask myself one simple question:
"Did this help me connect with Jesus Christ today?"
Sometimes that connection comes through reading several chapters.
Sometimes it comes through one verse.
Sometimes it comes through a prayer, a hymn, a conversation, or a thought that turns my heart toward Him.
That question has brought so much more peace and joy to my scripture study.
And it's one of the reasons I love creating Scripture Study Stacks.
Beginning June 1st, I'll be sharing 30 Small and Simple Summer Scripture Study Stacks to help us discover simple ways to connect with Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ during the busy summer months.
Want to try one right now?
Today, before you go to bed, write down one way you felt closer to Jesus Christ.
That's it.
No pressure.
No catching up.
No perfect study session required.
Just one small and simple moment of connection.
Today is just a small sample of what is coming in a few days!
What is one thing that helped you feel closer to Jesus Christ today?
