23 Keep your heart with all vigilance, for from it flow the springs of life.
1 Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers; 2 but his delight is in the law of the Lord, and on his law he meditates day and night.
Prayer
Prayer is essential for the preacher. Prayer is our method to communicate with God
1 And he told them a parable to the effect that they ought always to pray and not lose heart.
16 But he would withdraw to desolate places and pray.
Scripture
Scripture is necessary for spiritual growth. How can we know God without His Word?
16 All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness,
Meditation
Meditation allows me to quiet my mind and hear God
2 but his delight is in the law of the Lord, and on his law he meditates day and night.
Reading
Reading to preach is not the same as reading to grow
Devotion and Study/Sermon preparation are not the same thing and should not be viewed as interchangeable.
Devotion is planned and designated specifically for communion with God. This is God’s time!
Things I must consider
What are some hinderances to my devotional regimen?
What steps must I take to alleviate hinderances to my devotional regimen?
Where must I improve in my devotional regimen?
Do I need an accountability partner?
