What do you do when you pick up the Bible, working through your reading program and the passage you are reading does not do anything for you? You have two or three options.
First, you could beat yourself up that you are not spiritual enough. You could tell yourself that it is all profitable and you should be enthralled with every jot and tittle, and then go on a fast until the passage speaks to you.
Or you could go to a passage that you know is one of your favorites and spend some time there.
Or you could go on about your day and come back tomorrow.
I have done all three. The second and third are best. Do not beat yourself up. God doesn't.
