This year I started with the Life Principles Daily Bible, it
is a part of Charles Stanly’s ministry. For each day of the year you get Old Testament,
a little Psalms and proverbs, and New Testament. It takes me about 25 minutes
to read one day. Doing the math shows that 365 days times 25 minutes equals 9125
minutes or 152 hours, or 6.33 days. That means all that is required of me is to
find six and a half days a year to give to reading the scriptures. That does
not seem as daunting when you look at it like that does it? But it is kind of
convicting to think that I have a hard time finding six and a half days a year
to read Gods word.
So now is the time to put it into perspective. It is only
the first of March. Counting this month there are ten months left. Guess what? We are not hopelessly behind. There are many methods out there for reading the
scripture through. In my case all I need to do is read two passages a day for
about two weeks and I will be caught up. If you have not started or have
started and fallen off early there is hope for you as well. I feel very
confident that in the ten months remaining you can find six and a half days to
read Gods word. The real goal is to make the word of God part of your everyday
life, and the ways to do that are countless. Use the imagination that God blessed
you with and make time to spend with God. You will not regret it. Remember that
seven days without the word of God makes one WEAK!
