Hi Diana. I have never commented on your channel before, but felt I should today.
Last night I fervently prayed to our Lord. I asked him to please help me to feel more inspired to read and study His Word more diligently.
First thing this morning, I clicked on your video. I so needed this encouragement and inspiration!
Some would call this a coincidence. I call it an answered prayer.
Thank you Lord.
Thank you Diana. 🤗❤️🙏🏻
It was Jesus! Did you know the Hebrew language has no word for coincidence? They do not believe in coincidence, just God’s Providence!
Diane, thank you very much for this video. I have watched your channel a few times really enjoy it. God bless you.❤️🙏🏻🤗
I'm on my 2nd year of your recommendation of the Bible Recap. It has changed my life. I've never read the Bible all the way thru in my 67 years. I learn something new each day even though I read it last year. Thank you for sharing...it has made a difference in my life!!
I’m 66, and this is my 2nd year reading the Bible through, also-with the Bible Recap. For me, that made all the difference. I also use the audible Bible and listen to the passage(s) for the day. Plus, I almost always read/listen to it with my coffee in the morning. I took your advice, Diana, and started the Bible Recap 2 years ago. Thank you!
I appreciate your prayer(s) at the end of each video!
I get up, make our bed, and my husband has my hot water ready for my tea. I take my tea cup back to our room where I have a comfortable chair, a table with a lamp on it to have "tea" with Abba. I can look out my window and thank the Lord for the beautiful scene; I read my devotions before I dive into the Bible book that I am studying and afterwards I write in my gratitude journal. I love this time now and don't like to miss it when we have an early appointment to rush off to. BUT, even days that I don't have that morning time, I talk to Him; getting ready; folding laundry; fixing meals, etc. We need Him - make time with Him a priority even if it can't be a set aside time. Thank you for your encouraging words; your enthusiasm for the Lord - keep on keeping on!
Good good good words Diana. I’m off to go muttering about my days as I teach my little disciples the ways of the Lord 😊 Lord teach me and teach through me. Amen
Thank you Diana! I was looking forward to this video ever since you asked the question. I have to admit I am part of the 70% who struggles to be disciplined. I love how you don't heap any shame on us because that is never helpful when trying to change or start a new habit. You are very encouraging and inspiring! ❤
This is so encouraging, thank you! The struggle is real for all of us… but we got this!! 👏💛
I completely agree with tou Audry! @Diana, thanks!!!❤
Thank you for always being authentic and for the motivation to take time for what is important to me.
Thank you, Diana. You are so inspiring. I, too, am part of that 70%, and your prayer was just what i needed to hear today. God bless you and your family
Thank you Diana, I was waiting for that donut. 😂 I'm in the 70%. I do notice when I'm not in God's Word, I'm bitter, worried, angry, irritated and the list of negatives goes on. When I get any of those negatives in my life I go back to what has my time in God's Word been like. It almost always relates to my time without the Father.
I’ve read through the Bible a few times. This year I joined a community reading plan and it has transformed my studying and relationship with the Lord. It was one aspect I was definitely missing out on. The Holy Spirit has been working.
I purchased Sitting at the Feet of Rabbi Jesus from your recommendation Oh my goodness what a treasure! It opens an entire new level of understanding Thank you so much,! I did The Bible Recap last year I did read the entire Old Testament and I am working my way through the New Testament I grew up in deeply religious southern Baptist family and had some bad experiences I don’t attend church for many years but have recently found a church I love and feel as though I am finally growing in faith
Thank you for reminding us time and again. With the help of your recommendations I was abel to build up a consistent Bible study habit over the last to years. I stuck reading my bible on a habit that I already had - having a cup of coffee early in the morning, all by myself before anyone else was up. And than you recommended the Bible Recap just in time to intensive my Bible reading after some weeks of just reading for 5 minutes a day....So thank you Diana. And if you read this and are struggling right now - just try it for those 5 minutes! Looking back I'm just amazed how God was using my very small start. He is right there to help you understand and enjoy the reading of his word. I'm praying for everybody watching, that you will find this joy and the time bits of time every day to just get started ❤
This is so beautiful and so well said!! Thank you so much for taking time to share and for your warm encouragement!! 💛💛💛
Great topic, Diana. I appreciate your videos and your encouraging spirit. 💗
I cherish my Bible reading and prayer time. It’s miracle grow for my soul! 🌱☀️😊
Awesome video, Diana! And the Bible study group is THE. BEST. You are amazing!!
I just wanted to come back to this video and say I LOVE THESE CUBE TIMERS! With 3 kids and # 4 on the way they have helped me so much!
Thanks for the tips😊. I actually spend several hours with God between writing out my prayer each day and several devotionals, including the Bible Recap.
That’s so awesome to hear! Thank you for inspiring us all 🙌💛
Dearest Diana, You are my person to inspire & encourage, to teach & to lead me into relationship with God & His word!! God bless you! Oh yeah, & to learn to pray - your prayers are so spontaneous & beautiful, & most importantly sincerely from your heart! You are a woman after God’s own heart - I aspire to be, but I’m just beginning & that’s ok. Your videos uplift & inspire & are so relevant to this day & time, & for times to come. You actually gives us ways to focus on Jesus during everyday living, implementing what you’ve taught us & practical ways to make God accessible to us at every moment - He is always there, you help me to connect with Him! I so want to be in your Bible Study 🙏🏻 Thank you❣️
You are such a good teacher!! Love your videos with this type of content ❤
You look so cute today and so tiny! Thank you for this video. Just you reading Colossians brought me back to wanting to be nice!! Ha. Thank you. Thank you!!!
Diane, I appreciate your leadership. I just had a bad experience at church with (not our Pastor) but someone in leadership that is not going about leadership in the right way. People are pulling away from this person and what could have been done under that leadership is diminishing. It breaks my heart, but I've had to reset in how I go about signing up for things at church. Please pray that God helps this come to a better outcome, I need to pray over this person, but my peace is shaken. I wish I knew a study that would help with teaching leaders in the church and group participants about how to lead and how to function as a body of Christ.
I love you Diana Kokku
Off topic, I love your top, very cute and colourful.
Thank you Diana for your encouragement. I meant to take your poll but I literally got distracted 😂❤ I talk with the Lord every day but need to develop more Bible time.
I love this 😆
Thank you Diana! I can’t tell you how much this has helped me! ❤
Dear Diana,
thank you so much for the beautiful reminder. Consistency is key. So often, I feel held back by my own perfectionism. Allowing myself to start small and even reward the small beginnings is a beautiful path to growth. Many blessings to you and your family and thank you so much for your continuous time and love.
You have inspired me today and I'm excited to give this a try! Thank you!
I needed this! I got my area set up and started today! Thanks for the good information and the encouragement!
I am one of the 70% as well. For my whole life I’ve struggled to read the Bible due to many excuses I always make. Well, first and foremost we need God, we all agree on that., But you are definitely needed in my life!! I know I needed to hear this today and am so excited to get started!! You are such a big light in this world for me Diana!
Best devotional walking with Jesus David Jeremiah
Thank you! ❤
Thanks so much for going over this! Really helpful - I also began in Christian radio!! I so valued you teeing me up with the Bible recap podcast years ago which I then came back to in a season of seeking the LORD for the next season. I was pregnant and thought I was ‘done’ making content but long story short in the last three months of my pregnancy a lovely and chatty theologian called Matt Searles from the UK and I hatched a podcast called The Bible OverBrew to help people get an overview of scripture, book by book!! The Lord blessed me so much through this - but here I am also back on your channel while breastfeeding and longing to get ‘back into scripture’ regularly and simply also!? Will see what happens after watching this video and what season the Lord has for me next!!
Your love for the Lord and all of us is so evident in each of your videos. Thank you for all you do.
You always look sweet and happy, but I love that Pink flower shirt you are wearing today. So fresh and pretty. thank you for inner beauty as well. God bless you.
Thank you for the quick tips!! Trying to get back on track! 😁
Thank you for your wonderful channel Diana & for inspiring us so! Truly appreciate the content, not to mention, the thoughtful, loving & most thoughtful way, you present each video! xo 😘
Thank you for this video it opens a new pathway to get connected to God everyday!!! Never thought about devotionals in that way. Thank you for that website it's pretty good.
Looking forward to watching and having donuts with you. You know right where to get to me with the Bible study Habit problem.
I should have added a nice spiritual walking habit with our donut Bible study 😆💛
@@DianaKokku Something to look forward to next time😉
I’ve been writing Scriptures for a couple of years! I agree that it’s open up my spirit and mind to God’s voice like never before. It causes me to ponder and apply the truths more readily. ❤
Thank you for this video!!❤
Our church is reading the Bible through, chronologically, this year as a congregation and our message each Sunday is from the weeks reading. It’s been very rewarding
Change and Rewards. Rewards: I printed a Bible reading list for the year and stuck it in a binder along with a daily list to track what scriptures I read. I keep it next to my bed and fill it out at the end of the day which helps keep me on track. By doing this daily, I have formed a new habit. Now I'm not only doing my daily reads, but I am weeks ahead of the printout, spending more time in specific books and even doing additional studies of them, both at home and at my church. Maybe this will help to motivate someone else out there. :)
Great video, thank you! ❤
The First 5 app works great for me!
Thanks for this encouragement Diana!!!! I do think there is something powerful about writing things down! Your excitement for the Lord is infectious!!!!!
Thank you, Diana! This was just what I needed to hear today! I’m inspired to get back on track with my Bible reading!
Great tips! Thanks! 😊
Thank you so much! This was very helpful!❤
Great advice! 😊
Change and Rewards. Change: I used to read the Bible every day. Then we started going to a new church and that habit slipped away. I was doing other things, but had no desire to read my Bible. So we left that church, finding one that is more Bible-based, and I am now back in the Bible again every day. Even my husband says this new church is challenging him more too. Win-win!
I love the idea of using an actual timer instead of our phones; we can get easily distracted by them. Thank you so much for all you do 💕💕 P.S. doughnuts are my downfall too, LOL!! 🍩🍩
I love this! Thanks so much for sharing!!
Thank you Diana❤️
Thank you so much, this is a true blessing to me!
Thank you, Diana! ❤
At a Bible study with my friends the other night, I was saying it should not be about not performance, but seeking time with the Lord. BUT when you are not in the habit, aren’t “feeling it” STILL DO IT! The desire will come more as you dig into his Word.
And I really recommend…just reading the Bible…no commentary. No devotion. Just the unadulterated Bible. You can read about a chapter a day in 5 minutes. Or, even just a passage. You will learn who God is, what he wants in your life, your need for forgiveness so much more just hearing it start from his words. And it is a safety net to keep you from false teaching. Lots and lots of devos out there filled with things that sound nice, but aren’t biblical. Lots of good ones, too. Seek his word. “Seek Me and you find me when you seek me with all your heart.”
You will crave his word the more you are in it. It will come. Baby steps.
Recommend an understandable translation. CSB, NIV are easy to understand…NASB and ESV are good, but a little harder to understand.. like, higher “reading level, if you will.” lol
So good!
💕
Thank you for the tips. I don't have a computer or tablet.
Donuts are my favorite, too! It's kind of a problem 😂
Diana, what happened to your office with the really cool shelves that you and Dawn finished?
Diana, could you link that timer pls? That’s the kind recommended for my ADHD. Thank you!
Hi Diana. Where did you get the distracted part? I didn't pick up on that at all.
69% said they don't read the Bible more because "they have the time, but choose to do other things". They are saying it is not a priority for them. They have other activities they would rather do, right?
Help! I'm 62 years old. I'm the youngest of 5 children,. Most of my older siblings have strong faith and are spiritual. I was left at home with other family members when Sunday school happened (spoiled). I was confirmed believe it or not. We were between ministers and I feel we were all just slid through. However I raised my 2 children going to Sunday school. They are strong Christians and I feel at this age I want to be more spiritual. I'm embarrassed. I feel I want to learn from the very beginning, like a child. I have 2 grandchildren and I want to be able to answer their questions, and be part of their spiritual learning. Can you tell me where I should start.
5 minutes will be good
I love your utube and always tell my self l need to read the bible but l do not do this not because of the 70% which the serva said but my understanding and Evan pronation the words wrong. I am dyslexic but over the years l have been able to enjoy reading books but if we discussed the same book, we had read what I would comment on, might not be the same as you had read. I also chose books were there is space between the rows of words. I live in England so l do not know if l would be able to join your class and they may be to difficult for me but l think l am making an excuse there has you always explain the bible very clearly and make it so interesting, being dyslexic also has a real lovely treat. I see in pictures when I’m reading in great detail so it does take me some time to read anything, but the pictures are always beautiful and changing all the time. I hope l have not board you please is there anyway you can think of for me to start on this journey thank you for all the time you must spend producing your wonderful videos from Lynda ❤
I tried to get the printable. But it said my info was invalid when I triple checked and tried multiple times
Distracted!
