Remember, the focus of the Dwelling Richly podcast is that we are not just reading the Bible, but truly dwelling in the Word. I have some practical tips on how to make your Bible study sessions more meaningful and also how to align your life with God’s statutes. This episode is part of a summer series dedicated to enriching your Bible study practices, ensuring that you approach scripture with an open heart and a clear mind.
Dwelling in the Word and letting the Word dwell in us richly is different than reading the Bible or reading a devotional with Bible passages. Let the Word of Christ dwell in you richly and return the favor by dwelling in the Word – not “doing” Bible study, not simply reading – but moving into the Word with heart, soul, mind, and strength. It’s being intentional in making a shift from treating the Word of God like a self-help book to letting it dwell in us as the living Word of God that it is.
