Faith
During his Sermon on the Mount, Jesus warned that what people treasure will determine the focus of their hearts (Matthew 6:21), and he urges his followers to keep their focus on God above all else (Matthew 6:33).

Reading the Bible regularly is an important part of growing your faith. However, even in retirement, it can take some work to get into a routine that includes time with God's word. Choosing a faith-based option like the assisted living communities under the Bethesda Senior Living Community umbrella can encourage you to pursue your walk with God. You can strengthen your relationship even more by following these tips for creating a Bible-reading habit.
Faith
Life is in a constant state of change. Ecclesiastes 3:1 explains it this way: For everything there is a season, a time for every activity under heaven.
Faith
A large portion of the New Testament is made up of letters various apostles wrote to the early church. The encouragement, admonishments and other teachings in these letters are still relevant today for people of all ages.
Faith
Prayer is a powerful spiritual tool. It can help believers focus on God and understand his will for their lives. Jesus modeled an active prayer life during his ministry on earth, and the four Gospels record him praying often for himself and his followers.
Faith
Older adults of faith may be familiar with daily Bible reading habits or other forms of Scripture study. Depending on their faith practices through the years, they might also be quite familiar with parts of the Biblical text. If that describes you, that familiarity might work against you when you engage in Bible study or reading. When you've read something so many times in your life, it can be hard to look at it with a new perspective, which can be required to understand what God wants to teach you in a certain season of life.
