Whenever you will…
I’ve written about this before, but I still get asked when the best time is to do the readings.
The short answer is this: whenever you will actually do them.
Everyone’s day is different. Some people have time at the end of the day. Some first thing in the morning. Some around lunch. The timing matters less than the habit. Doing it at all matters more than doing it at a specific hour.
For me personally, if I do not do it first thing before anything else gets moving, I usually end up missing the day. It should not be that hard to set aside a few minutes, but you know how it goes. Once the day gets rolling, it has a way of crowding everything out.
One thing I have noticed about doing it in the morning is how often something I read lines up with what is happening in my life that day. Or something I need to hear. Or something that applies in a way I did not expect.
The Bible is not just a long list of rules or disconnected stories. When you pay attention to the context, it often speaks directly into real situations. Reading at the start of the day gives that room to settle and carry through whatever comes next.
That said, if mornings do not work for you, do it whenever they do. Just do it.
PS- I have not seen many new signups lately. The more people we have reading along, the easier it is for everyone to keep up. There is a social effect to it. I do not spend money advertising this or promoting it anywhere else, so it really does come down to word of mouth. If you are willing to share this with one person who might benefit from it, I would appreciate it.
Enjoy reading!
