ATE30DAYS
ATE — A Thousand Elsewhere
30 DAYS — These challenges run on 30-day months
Over the years I have hugely benefited from participating in various Bible reading challenges and I eventually started to develop and host my own.
5 Transformative Changes From 30 Days of Bible Reading
ATE30DAYS is a Bible reading challenge that fills our heads and hearts with scripture everyday for a month. I use the S.O.A.P. devotional method to dig into the word with lettering, what works for you? How do you prioritize resting in and reflecting on God's word? Be it: writing, Bible journaling, art, doodles, poetry, photography, meditation, intentional rest... whatever YOU are into—use it to get into and reflect on the word. The point is connecting the living gospel to your real, messy, everyday life. For those concerned about the 30-day commitment, feel free to jump in whenever you like. No pressure to do them all. I would love if you could use #ATE30DAYS so we can all share and learn together, let's keep each other accountable.
How does it work?
Step 1: Scripture
Read the verse(s) of the day (e.g: Day 3 = [Month] 3rd)
Step 2: Observation
Choose and meditate on the verse(s) that stood out to you in your reading. As you reflect on the verse(s), ask yourself or journal around these questions:
What do I learn about:
- God / Relating to God
- People / Relating to people
Step 3: Application
As you reflect on and get creative around the verse(s) that stand out to you, ask yourself or journal around these questions:
What does God want me to:
- Understand / Believe
- Desire / Do
(For the creatives - need inspiration? Use the prompt!)
Step 4: Prayer
Ask God to give you the eyes to see and the ears to hear what He is revealing to you in the daily reading.
