The Chapter-A-Day With Two-Pages-A-Day Lifestyle
Getting The Jesus Lifestyle
It will typically take you a while to let Jesus get you into a routine. The fact is, you are already in a routine. When you try to add something to that routine, it can cause trouble. You are in the habit of doing things in a certain order. And, it disrupts that routine when you have something else trying to be interjected into it.
When you typically do one thing and then always do the next thing, that leads to the third thing. You will find it difficult to change that set of chained events. That can cause you to get discouraged or feel like it isn’t going to work. Phil 4:13 (KJV) I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me. Asking gets your eyes off of you and on Jesus. Jesus empowers you to add an item to your daily chain of events.
Pray To Not Give Up
Heb 12:2 (NIV) Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the Author and Perfecter of our faith, Who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. If you pray and ask Jesus to help you add Jesus Life Books to your routine, He will help you, by giving you faith to believe He is helping you.

Gal 6:9 (NIV) Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. If you forget, pray and ask for His help. If you choose to not do it that day, pray and ask for His help. Keep asking and Jesus will help you do what you couldn’t do before. Asking will empower you to not give up, no matter what happens. The big thing about ask is, it keeps you looking to Jesus for everything. This builds a relationship with Him.
“Do What It Takes” To Please God
Heb 11:6 (NIV) And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to Him must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who earnestly seek Him. Ask Jesus to help you believe that God rewards those who earnestly seek Him. Jesus will respond to your “ask” by authoring and perfecting your faith.
Mark 11:24 (AKJV) Therefore I say unto you, What things soever you desire, when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you shall have them. The first requirement of Jesus is, for you to want Him to answer your prayers. You must desire the thing you are praying for. Desire His help, and desire it to come the way He wants it to come.
You may want to add Jesus Life Books to your routine; but, you must not add it at a time and place where it isn’t best for you. Ask Jesus to help you find out when and where He wants it added, so you can desire to add it, get Jesus’ help adding it, and get His help making it a part of your lifestyle. You are being prayed for, so you will be able to get started adding a chapter a day with two pages a day to five days of your week.
