The Bible Lifestyle

In today’s busy and distracted world, there are hundreds of new self-glorified trends that emerge daily in areas including self-development, diet, fitness, fashion, music and business - to name but a few. These trends come and go and are created by man. However, one that began 6000 years ago and that was created by God, has remained consistent until today. This is the Bible.


Main reference (Psalms 1:1-3)
Blessed is the one who does not walk in step with the wicked
or stand in the way that sinners take or sit in the company of mockers,
but whose delight is in the law of the Lord,
and who meditates on his law day and night.
That person is like a tree planted by streams of water,
which yields its fruit in season
and whose leaf does not wither—
whatever they do prospers.

This scripture tells us that those who meditate on the word of God day and night will prosper in whatever they do. This is because God's word leads that person to knowing God's will; and God will always bless those who do His will.

I can assure you that reading the Bible daily will help give you a deeper understanding of God and calmness amidst the rush of London life and negative image of the world as portrayed by the media. By developing this daily habit, I now have gratitude for my life and hope for the future, as well as a clear understanding of God's will.

How can you do this in practice?
It takes roughly 21 days to form a new habit. I would recommend that you spend the first and last 15 minutes of your day reading and reflecting on one of the 66 books of the Bible. If you’re unsure where to start, begin with Proverbs. It has 31 chapters, so you can comfortably read through and digest one chapter per day. Please find an accountability partner and share what you have perceived with him or her daily. Finally, download a Bible App with a verse of the day to remind you of God’s love. I'm sure that your life will be enriched🙏
