LOVE IS...

Valentine's Day is just a few days away. I am still not sure how I feel about this holiday. My husband and I firmly believe that we should show our love to our spouse 365 days a year, not just 1. We should do those little acts of love regularly, not just when the calendar tells us to. Yet on the other hand, it is nice to have that day to do extra things and go all out, and I love to decorate my home for all the little holidays.

Whether you are one of those who goes all out red and hearts and lovey-dovey for the day or one who dismisses the day completely, this is for you.

Love is patient, love is kind. Love does

not envy, is not boastful, is not arrogant,

is not rude, is not self-seeking, is not irritable,

and does not keep a record of wrongs. Love

finds no joy in unrighteousness but rejoices in

the truth. It bears all things, believes all

things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love

never ends. But as for prophecies, they will

come to an end; as for tongues, they will

cease; as for knowledge, it will come to an end.

I Corinthians 13:4-8 CSB

BIBLE READING VS BIBLE STUDY

All Scripture is inspired by God and is

profitable for teaching, for rebuking, for

correcting, for training in righteousness.

2 Timothy 3:16 CSB

The last couple of weeks we've talked about being in the Word of God. We talked about becoming a woman of the Word and how to cultivate an intentional and consistent quiet time. So we get that being in the Bible is important. But is there a difference in reading the Bible and studying the Bible? Yes! Which should we be doing? Both!

First let's look at reading the Bible.

Reading through the Bible can be done so many different ways. Here at Woman to Woman we offer a one year Bible reading plan. This year we are reading straight through the Bible, Genesis to Revelation, plus reading a chapter of Psalm each week day. (For our reading plan, click HERE.) I've also read the Old Testament and New Testament simultaneously, read through chronologically, read the Bible in 90 days, and read randomly (where you just open the Bible and read).

CULTIVATING AN INTENTIONAL AND CONSISTENT QUIET TIME

Last week we talked about becoming a woman of the Word with why we need to read the Bible and how a Bible reading plan can help. Today we are going to continue our discussion by talking about how to cultivate an intentional and consistent quiet time.

We now know that we need to read the Bible and we can see how a Bible reading plan can help. But how can we be intentional and consistent? Here are a few tips to take into 2026 to help you be intentional and consistent as you become a woman of the Word.

Make a plan.

Decide what time of day to read the Bible and pray. Pick a time you know that you will be able to focus. If you fall into bed at night so exhausted you can't even see clearly, that is probably not the best time to read the Bible. Personally, I feel better and notice a positive impact on my day when I read the Bible and pray in the morning. Maybe for you, first thing in the morning is your best time. Maybe you will do better on your lunch break from work or while the kids nap. Or maybe you are your best at night. Whatever it is, decide that you are going to set aside time to spend with Jesus.
