30 Day Experiment
It's amazing how quickly we can lose or acquire habits.....good or bad.
Since my "fast track" down the stairs a few months ago, my scripture reading habit has gone AWOL. Quite honestly, I could feel the difference in my life. I came across this book written by Wndy Watson Nelson called, Change your questions, Change your Life.
As I read through it, This experiment caught my eye, and so it has become, to my great benefit, part of my daily routine. So I'm throuwing down the gauntlet to all of my loved ones to take on the challange and experince the difference it will make in your lives.......
The Take a Daily Question to the Scriptures for 30 Days Experiment
Begin each of the thirty days of this experiment by asking yourself:
What is the one question I most need to have answered today—the question that is burning in my heart and mind, burdening me--the question that is troubling my life?
Then:
• Take your scriptures and kneel down and thank your Heavenly Father, in the name of Jesus Christ, for the scriptures.
• Ask for the Spirit to be with you as you seek an answer to your one question for that day. Picture the Holy Ghost being right there with you as you read.
• Ask your Heavenly Father the one question you most need to have answered that day.
• Open your scriptures and read until you find the answer.
It is my experience, and the witness of so many others, that you won’t have to read very far before you will find what you are looking for.
Then record your experiences
Take a piece of paper and make four columns
• Date
• Question Asked
• Scriptural Reference of Answer
• Answer
The reason you’ll want to record the scriptural reference is that often the same scripture will take on a new meaning for you the next time you go to that reference. Have you noticed that before? That is how personal revelation works. It’s personal. Very personal. And it’s just for you, at that very moment.
Change your Questions, Change your Life.
