You really laid out an example plan for digging deeper into the Word. I just discovered <a HREF="http://bible.christianity.com/" REL="nofollow">Bible Study Tools</a> that lets me highlight, journal, and get help from commentaries, lexicons, etc. all for free. It has 29 translations and a split-panel screen so you can read things side-by-side. I could never afford these books nor would I have the time to search through all of them! <br/><br/>I hope you get a chance to check it out! It's been a blessing for me and I want to let others know that they can find tools to understand the Bible without having to go to seminary! Thanks for all the great tips!

I have used for several years now M'Cheyne's Calendar for Daily Readings arranged by Robert Murray M'Cheyne. It has 4 readings for the day and you go through the entire Bible in a year and the Gospels more than once in a year. I look forward to this everyday and it keeps one from being random. I ordered copies of the plan from Mt Zion Bible Church in Pensacola, FL Thanks for the insight.

I completely agree. For many years I spent the first 10-15 minutes of my devotions memorizing Scripture. I can’t commend this practice enough.

Thanks for the comment!

I don't do it nearly as much as I wish I did, but I think it is a valuable use of "devotional time." The greatest benefit is that I can meditate at different points during the day. It is often helpful in prayer too. Memorizing Scripture has been fruitful for me at various times.
