Upper Room

I have not always been faithful in reading the Bible. It is one of the areas I struggle with as a Christian. I have been good at attending church and my morning prayers are firmly engrained in my routine. I have been looking for the right outlet to give me a daily opportunity to read the Bible and I have finally found it.

The Christian devotional Upper Room is a small booklet that can be read every day and provides both a verse from the Bible and a thought provoking story from someone who relates a real life experience. Some days are right on the money and provide insight into events of our lives. Some stories have no relevance to what is going on in my life but if someone is going through it, there is always the chance that it is a lesson that I will need.

Now, I know that I cannot carry a book around with me because I would lose it and when the month was up, I would need to get another book. This new nifty devise called the internet has provided a solution for that. The Upper Room web site provides their daily devotional on line. You can even look at older ones when you miss a day. I am trying to be faithful to my daily devotional because it allows me to get my daily Word and it provides insight into who others view scripture.

Now, that doesn’t excuse me from sitting down and reading the Bible on a daily basis, but, I have found a way to at least expose myself to the Holy Word and see what God has in store for me at this stage of my life and spiritual journey.
