Yes, I use a devotional, but what do you mean, "what kind"? If you're asking for the title, it depends on when you ask me. Last year I went through Max Lucado's Grace for a Moment, and occasionally I would read from Oswald Chambers' My Utmost for His Highest when I wanted more to read. I'll probably focus on Chambers next year. This year I'm reading Morning and Evening, by Charles Spurgeon, and it's great! I would definitely recommend it. Maybe I like it just because I've been able to relate to the passages on certain days, but I think Spurgeon really knows his stuff.
How do I keep on track in the Word? Well, that's tricky. I've never really had a consistent accountability partner for staying in the Word daily. At least, nobody besides God Himself. I did "partner" with my small group in high school, but that kind of stopped once we started college last fall. A single accountability partner probably would have been a good idea, but now I feel like I'm staying in the Word pretty consistently. But I probably could still use an accountability partner for keeping up with actually studying the Bible. I'll read a chapter a day from Psalms, and I'll try to read a passage (at least one chapter) in whatever book I'm reading at the moment (I'm currently in Genesis), but my in depth study of Galatians has been dragging. I've fallen far behind: I just started chapter 2 this semester, and it's not because I was studying the first chapter so deeply that it took me an entire semester to get through it. I would study a couple verses, take a break of a week or more, and then I would jump back in. So if anyone would like to help me with that, I'd appreciate it if someone would call/text me or send me a Facebook message/email to check up on me and make sure I'm making progress in my studies, at least every other day. Or if you're one of my fellow UGA students, I'd be more than willing to meet up some time to talk about what I'm learning.
