It takes relatively little time for teachers to go through the two-page study. The key is to start the lesson early in the week. We have often given adults ten minutes to work through a lesson. In that amount of time everyone finishes the first day and a few get to the third or fourth day of the week's devotional. However, the lessons can take as little or as much time as you desire to give them.

The questions focus on reading the passage, discovering the facts in the passage, observing God's part and making application in our lives. Often it will initiate further thought during the week and entice you to deepen your understanding. Remember, understanding and applying the Bible--not completing the lesson--will change lives. God's Word is His love letter to us; and as we grow in our relationship with Him, we will desire to spend more time with Him. Do not be afraid to begin where you are and expect to grow as the days go by.
