Here’s a great article by David Murray:
Re-ignite Bible Reading That’s Become Boring
Any one of these 12 practical tips may be just what you need if Word-time has become less than it should be lately.
When reading and studying the Bible, I am easily distracted, so I especially like strategy #3:
“Ban the cellphone. If you check your phone before you check your Bible, the Bible is going to lose. The Internet and Social Media is crack cocaine for the brain. The Bible requires careful cutting, chewing, and digesting. The former is quick thrills; the latter is a slow roast. Check your Bible first and it won’t feel such a let down to your brain. And put your phone away as you read; even if it’s not pinging and buzzing, the brain sees it and is expecting it, causing further distraction.”
I love this kind of advice: he cuts right to the chase and gives it to you straight.
