So this year for a New Years Resolution I have decided to finally take on the Bible in a year challenge.( well its more of a devotion for a year) . This is something that I personally have wanted to do for a few years, but have lacked the will to really dedicate myself to it. Reason being is that i wanted to get closer to God, and the only way i can do this is by getting into the bible and really reading what is in the good word. So far ive not m issed a day which for 7 straight days is pretty good for me, im actually 2 days ahead. Genesis and Matthew is really what im in right now and so far its been pretty good. Seeing how Abraham came to be, and where he came from , and his sheer devotion to God , should be inspiring to alot of people . My goal is really to finish the bible in 11 months, then have a reflection time on the 12th . I know that knowing the bible isnt going to come in a year. This will be something i will have to do for years to fully understand the word of God. But you know, its 15 minutes of my day reading 6 or 7 chapters, and it really does make the day seem so much brighter when I start off with a cup of coffee and reading. So I urge anyone who wants to make a Resolution that will be easy to keep, and really fill up your spiritual cup on a daily basis. Read Your Bible. I have always taken it for granted. But this year, Its not just another one of my books, Its THE Book.
If you wish to read the bible in a year go to http://www.youversion.com/ and they have a system that allows you to choose your choice of bible, and it plans each day for you. So far its been fantastic for me.
