The book has 21 chapters, which means you will easily finish the entire Gospel and have plenty of days left over to rest, catch up, or deeply reflect on key passages.

To protect this personal devotion time, treat it like an important appointment with yourself by picking a consistent 15-minute window each day, such as right after your morning coffee or just before bed. Guard this time by putting your phone on Do Not Disturb and leaving it in another room to eliminate digital distractions.

Before you even open the book, take two minutes to transition your mind from a busy day into a state of relaxation. Light a candle, turn on some soft background music, or dim the overhead lights to signal to your brain that it is time to slow down. Close your eyes and take three slow, deep breaths to release any tension in your shoulders. By intentionally slowing your physical environment down first, you create a peaceful mental space where you can read without feeling rushed.

Set yourself up for the month. A chapter doesn’t take long to read, maybe a minute or 2, offering ample time to write down in a journal what you notice about the text. Every week we will look at some themes and what The Lord revealed to John.

Set yourself up for the month. A chapter does not take long to read, maybe a minute or two, offering ample time to write down in a journal what you notice about the text. Every week we will look at key themes and see what the Lord revealed to John. We are digging for secrets here. In Chapter 1, we learn that the Word is Jesus and He became flesh. In Chapter 15, we are taught about abiding in Him and how whatever you ask for will be given.

October is our month to discover the treasures of Heaven.
