As I write this, for me the end of the year is in sight – and with it the end of my ‘Read-The-Bible-In-A -Year’ plan. (This has been my 5th or 6th time doing so.) It, again, has been an amazing journey. I have been able to spend precious time with many wonderful ‘friends’ (Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Isaiah, Ezekiel, Ezra, Hosea, and all the others) – and am already anxious to be with them again!
I don’t know that I can say ‘everyone should do this’ (that’s between you and the Lord), but I do know spending this time (with the Lord) in God’s Word has changed my life – and I am so grateful for the mercy he has shown me as I have approached him, and come into his presence, in this manner.
Hosea 13:2 says some in the church ‘have made them molten images of their silver, and idols according to their own understanding’. It reminds me how many ‘voices’ there are promoting messages and doctrines according to their own understanding – and not according to the truth of God’s Word!
I hope you will consider joining me in the upcoming year as I begin another ‘Read-The-Bible-In-A-Year’ plan. I guarantee, as you approach the Lord in humility, you will find treasures you didn’t know existed – and as you incorporate these things into your life, you will come to know God in a deeper, more intimate way.
Acts 17:26-27
…And has made of one blood all nations of men to dwell on all the face of the earth… That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us: For in him we live, and move, and have our being…
