Find a place where you can be quiet and think
It’s serious! 3
We suggest that you allow 15 minutes each day to work through the Bible passage with the notes. It should be a meal, not a snack! Readings from other parts of the Bible can throw valuable light on the study passage. These cross-references can be skipped if you are already feeling full up, but will expand your grasp of the Bible if you have the time. Sometimes a prayer box will encourage you to stop and pray through the lessons—but it is always important to allow time to pray for God’s Spirit to bring his word to life, and to shape the way we think and live through it.
We’re serious! All of us who work on Explore share a passion for getting the Bible into people’s lives. We fiercely hold to the Bible as God’s word—to honour and follow, not 6 to explain away. Pray about what you have read
