First and 15: RomansThe purpose of "First and 15 Scripture Reading Series" is to provide a selected Bible passage and prayer journal that serves as resource to help prioritize spending consistent time in God's Word. This journal provides a daily passage of scripture to read and pre-lined space to write what God is revealing to you as an individual. The hope is that as we study God's Word, we will become more and more familiar with how to read God's Word, interpret God's Word, and pray God's Word. First Things First The goal of this resource is to make spending time in God's Word and praying of utmost importance. The idea behind this particular journal is to prioritize spending the first fifteen minutes of each day as you read through the book of Romans. There is a passage from the book of Romans selected for each day to be read from your own Bible. The selected reading plan would allow for reading the entire book of Romans in 35 Days, with a few days intended to remember and reflect on what has been read. Summarization The first section is designed to provide space to summarize the Bible passage that was read. There are lines provided to write summary statements that can be used to restate or breakdown the chapter that was read. This allows for the reader to carefully determine and discern the message that was read. Application In addition to discerning the meaning of the passage, there is a space provided to write down how the passage applies to our lives. This allows the reader to understand the implications and practicality of what has been read. Prayer Finally, there is space provided for the reader to write a daily prayer. This prayer can come out of what has been read in the Bible passage, as well as a prayer for personal matters, decisions, situations, and people. Rest, Reflect, and Remember Periodically, there will be a listing where the focus of that day will be to pause and reflect on what God has been revealing. This is also an opportunity to focus on what God has provided and the promises that He continues to keep. Final Thoughts My prayer is that your commitment to spending time daily in God's Word will not only be helpful, but that it would be absolutely life-changing. I am praying that each of us will look forward to spending time in God's Word each day, believing that the Truth of God's Word will change us, transform us, and allow us to experience freedom in our lives. I am praying for you and your journey through scripture. Sterling Edwards
