Four Steps to Make God’s Word a Habit
四步，让上帝的话成为习惯
Feb 15, 2017
“If you continue in My word, then you are truly disciples of Mine” (John 8:31b NASB).
“你们若继续遵守我的道，就真是我的门徒了。”（约8:31，和修）
It’s a really important step to commit to reading your Bible regularly for a short period, maybe a few weeks. It’s a great way to get started, but you should never leave it there. Jesus said, “If you continue in My word, then you are truly disciples of Mine” (John 8:31b NASB). It’s the long-term commitment to learning from Jesus and his Word that makes us his disciples.
在短期内，或许几个周的时间有规律的读经，是非常重要的一步。这是一个很好的开始方式，但是你永远不要停下。耶稣说，“你们若继续遵守我的道，就真是我的门徒了。”（约8:31，和修）这是一个长期的承诺，去学习耶稣和他的话，我们就是他的门徒了，
How do you continue in the Word and stay connected with Jesus through his Word for the long term?
你是如何在真理上坚持，并且在长时间内荣国神的话与基督联结呢？
Make the decision to do it. It starts with your commitment. Don’t wait for a better time to make God’s Word a regular part of your life. Start your commitment today.
下决心并付出行动。开始于你的许诺。永远不要等到一个更好的时间，再让上帝的话成为你生命中规律的一部分。今天就下定你的决心吧！
Make a declaration. Announce your intentions to others. Hold yourself accountable. If you keep your commitment to God a secret, it’s easier to slip up.
做一个宣告。对别人宣告你的打算。并且自己负责。如果你让你对上帝的计划成为一个秘密的话，那很容易跌倒。
Make a determination. Don’t allow anything to knock you off your commitment. Be absolutely determined to make this a permanent habit in your life, particularly in the early months. If you start skipping days, it’ll be much harder to stay committed to God’s Word.
有决心。不要让任何事情终端你的承诺。一定要使之成为你生命中永久的习惯，特别是在前几个月。
Double up. Get a spiritual partner to come alongside you for support and encouragement. This is someone with whom you can share what you learn in your quiet times. It could be someone in your small group, a friend, or a family member. The Bible says, “Two people are better off than one, for they can help each other succeed” (Ecclesiastes 4:9 NLT).
加把劲。交一个属灵伙伴，在你旁边支持你鼓励你。这个人你可以在安静的时候与他分享你学到的。可以是你小组中的一员，一个朋友，或者一个家庭成员。圣经说，“两个人总比一个人好，他们劳碌同得美好的报偿。”（传4:9 和修）
Spending time with God should be a lifelong habit, not a passing fancy. Research shows you need to do something for about six weeks straight to build a habit. Make God’s Word part of your life today — and for the rest of your life.
与神相处应该成为持续在生命中的习惯，这并不是心血来潮。研究显示建立一个习惯需要6周的时间。让上帝的话在今天和你的余生中成为你生命中的一部分。
