Are you an on-the-go person and looking for a way to integrate God's Word into your day? I like to use little ways to augment my personal time with God that I have in the morning, as reminders for things.
While there are no substitutes for a time in my schedule daily to God's Word. Here are some tricks for people on the go, feel free to respond and share your tips. Most of the time, things like this I use while I'm waiting for files to render or copy or waiting for an appointment or when I'm filling the car with gas or whatever...in the cracks of the day.
***For the non tech person, I'll add some "Low tech solutions" for some of the ideas as well.
1) If you have a smart phone, look into youversion's bible app from Life Church. They have a daily verse of the day that can be delivered to your phone automatically...there are versions for Android and iPhone/iPad.
***Also, we put our sermon notes on this each week, so you can follow along with my sermons, send in a prayer request, share a bible verse or a thought on social media, take notes on the sermon, and email the notes to yourself to keep or a friend who couldn't make it today.
2) If you'd rather twitter than app, follow @daily_bible and the daily verse is posted there for you.
3) If you drive a lot, the Youversion app has an option where the Bible can be read to you. I have a blue tooth speaker that I hook up to my phone and listen to my Bible, while I'm in the shower, mowing the yard or while I play video games, instead of the radio.
Low (er) tech solution: By a CD player and buy the Bible on CD. There are all kinds, even ones for reading it through in a year. Check your local Christian bookstore (or Barnes and Nobles even) or search it on Amazon...here's a link
4) I use an Android app called "Remember Me" which helps me organize the verses that I'm memorizing each day. It's quick and I can review a couple of verses in about 2 minutes waiting on something or before a meeting.
Low tech solution: If you aren't a tech person, then carry an index card with a Scripture on it in your pocket (or two or three) and review them when you are are waiting
5) We all have breaks that happen in our day (lunch or right after appointments or meetings or the drive home), I use my Google calendar to set up prayer reminders for certain things (and you can set up reminders to recur for several days...these work great to read right before you are driving somewhere...NOT during the drive. ;)
Low tech solution: Write a prayer request on a card and place it to the left of the speedometer on your car or a sticky note on your bathroom mirror or in the book you are reading or on your day planner (when you open it the each day, just move it to the next day).
