Do not take all the time you have for Bible reading, in reading without meditating on it.  For if one reads only and straightway goes to some other employment, what he read falls off, it does not stay with one.
If you have twenty minutes for Bible reading, read only fifteen minutes, then for the other five minutes, sit still and think on what you read.
If you have thirty minutes, or an hour, read say twenty minutes, or forty-five minutes, and then meditate for the other ten or fifteen minutes on what was read.
If we will always observe this manner of Bible reading, then as we turn to other employment, what we read stays with us, it does not fall away, it will return to the memory time and again.  And when it does (another key to Christian growth), meditate for some several minutes on the Scripture thought that returned to us right then, even as we work.
It is best to have a SET TIME for our Bible reading and meditation.  Perhaps the best time is to get up early enough that we will have twenty minutes or the hour for such reading before we turn to any other duties.
Mark your calendar daily as you have finished this manner of study, and at end of each year, look back over your record thus kept, and think of the good and growth that has thus come to you.
Have also, a daily set time for prayer. This time should come just before or just after our daily Bible study, for two or three minutes if we have only ten or fifteen minutes for Bible study, for some ten or fifteen minutes if we have an hour.
