I Must Develop A Daily Devotional Regimen
Prayer
Prayer is essential for the preacher.
Prayer is our method to communicate with God
Scripture
Scripture is necessary for spiritual growth.
How can we know God without His Word?
Meditation
Meditation allows me to quiet my mind and hear God
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?

Where must I improve in my devotional regimen?
