Devotional idea

I will be forever thankful for a gift my brother gave to me, the Bible on Audio CD.

Here's why I like it:

1. I can clean my office and do a devotion at the same time.
   
2. It forces me to listen to every word, and not skip to the key words nor breeze over the familiar ones.
   
3. I actually look forward to long drives in the car.
   
4. I seem to grasp big picture stuff better. It's amazing how the Holy Spirit threads the Bible together.
   
5. It reassures me that what I'm listening to is real. Kinda like listening to a sermon from another pastor that says the things you expect him to say.
   

I can see the danger in it too. Your mind drifts and suddenly you've forgotten what was said, and now you've broken the 3rd commandment. What an gracious God we have who takes that risk in hopes that the seed is planted on good soil.

I'm beginning to understand why we don't have quiet reading time on Sunday. Until I come, devote yourself to the public reading of Scripture, to preaching and to teaching. (1 Timothy 4:13)
