For the first time in my life I can say I have read the Bible all the way through. Now don’t get me wrong I have studied the Bible for many years…I even went through it chapter by chapter, which took me three years to accomplish. But I had never just read the Bible a few chapters a day for a year. I have to tell you it open my eyes to several things…For starters it reminded me about how much I still have to learn…very humbling. It opened my eyes to the big picture, seeing God lay out the grand plan for us all. Most of all it gave me things to think about every day that help shape my attitude. It took me too those great Bible stories and I got to see Abraham, Jacob and Joseph again. I got to see Moses and the exodus…David and Solomon…and all the very interesting Kings. I got to hear the Psalms…and lived with the Prophets. Saw Jesus and the disciples…listen to Paul tell his tale and still thinking about John and his Revelations.
I have read so many books, but there is nothing like the Bible…it’s not a science book, or a history book. But it is God’s story…and how he has chosen to interact with us. I thank God for the Bible and its impact on my daily life…I hope you will take the time this year and read through it.
