       You don’t have to become legalistic about this, but you should read the Bible everyday. Now, I will admit that sometimes I will go through a book about the Bible for a period of time as my daily devotion. But the book should be talking about Biblical things, so that you are immersing yourself in the Bible. We have to know God’s truth frontwards and backwards if we want to be pleasing to him and take care of ourselves. The second part of this involves praying to God everyday. We definitely have to spend time in prayer with God if we want to be close to him and see successes in our lives. James 4:8 says, “Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you” (ESV). I mean, after all, why wouldn’t we want to be close to God? He loves us and cares for us. As long as we have a healthy view of God in our minds, we should want to draw near to him. Plus, if we want people around us to know the truth or to be helped, we have pray these things to God. Philippians 4:6 says, “in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God” (Philippians 4:6, ESV). And we should always be thankful to him for the many blessings that we have in our lives.
