I realize that.

You're never alone because you have two kids under three and they need you constantly.

Listen, I do not get it.

In case you can't tell, I'm not exactly an academic.

I don't understand what your life is like.

I did not go to seminary, and I'll only occasionally mention what the original Hebrew might mean, and even then, chances are I'm going to mispronounce it.

But he does.

And since I know for a fact that he wants time with you, I'm asking him to carve out time for himself in your schedule and to help you make the most of the space he's put you in.

Overall, my approach in these recaps will be less like a scholarly Bible commentary and more like an overview and highlight reel rolled into one.

I'm asking him to help you focus on himself beyond the distractions that might call for your attention in this season of your life.

What that means is, I'm less inclined to use big theological terms and more inclined to point to the character of God as it's revealed in that day's reading.

We're all in different spots, so there's no shame in this either.

You just do the best you can and know that it's huge that you're prioritizing this in your life.

I want to help you learn how to find and see and know God and his character more than anything else.

What really matters here is that you're setting your heart to learn more about God, to pursue time with Him.

I don't care if you never know what year the temple was built and destroyed and rebuilt and redestroyed.

Don't expect it to look like anyone else's time with God.

Those are great details to be aware of, but they will never serve you like the personal knowledge of God.

Now that we've got our time and our location, let's talk about our process.

Here's what I do.
