In part 2 of Peace Beyond Christmas: A Priority Time Series, Karin Conlee uses the Christmas
account found in Matthew 1:18-22 to both bring the Christmas story to light and to show how the
four ingredients of a Priority Time provide some simple best practices that take your time in the
word from an academic exercise to a personal encounter with the Lord. God does not provide
the inspired word of God to simply increase our Bible IQ, but as a love letter to His children. As
Karin unpacks the “How” of a Priority Time and its benefits, the ancient account of Joseph
becomes a relevant passage for each of us to personally apply to our own lives.
​
So often in church, we are told to read the Bible and pray without any guidance. A Priority Time,
a daily, unhurried time to get to know God through the Bible and prayer, is a simple yet powerful
approach that will help every believer grow in their connection to the Lord.
