Brief Reflection: Reading in Greek

I am fairly satisfied with how my morning devotions have been going; reading through the Bible in Greek. It is a slow progression through the Bible; literally taking each day verse by verse and, most of the time, taking more than one day on a verse. Some of my professors considered learning the original languages of the Bible to be a spiritual discipline. I could understand why, as it takes a lot of focus and thought to read just one verse in a foreign language.

Has studying the Bible become just a routine practice for you? You don't have to read it in Greek or Hebrew, for that matter, to bring new life to your daily devotions. Simply reading in another translation is sometimes enough to restore your focus and draw you nearer to God through his Word. Changing things up a bit and sticking with it is a spiritual discipline in itself.
