About Hearing God Through the Year: A 365-Day Devotional
Being close to God means communicating with him—telling him what is on our hearts in prayer and understanding what he is saying to us. The second half of this conversation is so important—and so difficult. How do we hear God? In these daily devotionals Dallas Willard helps us understand how we can know the voice of God and act on it. Now in a new format with an expanded introduction, this classic provides daily Scripture readings and suggestions for prayer, journaling and reflection to draw you into God’s presence. You may be surprised—and even transformed—by what you discover.

Winter - Week Six Wednesday
Bible Boredom
The life-maps of GOD are right, showing the way to joy. The directions of God are plain and easy on the eyes.
When we do not understand the experience of biblical characters in terms of our own experience, we may stop reading the Bible. Or we take it in regular doses, choking it down like medicine, because someone told us that it would be good for us—though we really do not find it to be so.
The open secret of many “Bible-believing” churches is that only a small percentage of their members study the Bible with the degree of interest, intelligence or joy that they bring to reading their favorite newspaper or magazine. Based upon considerable experience, I believe this is primarily because they do not know and are not taught how to understand the experience of biblical characters in terms of their own experience.
Reflect: Recall times (if any) when you have read the Bible with interest, intelligence or joy. What factors were present? What are some steps you could take to experience Bible reading this way? (You might want to discuss this with a friend as you reflect on it.)
