Read through the entire Bible.
The
reading plan was 90 days long. And I thought that was ridiculous, until I made it
through in 85 days. Yes, only 5 days less...but way better than being past the
deadline or not doing it at all.
Here are my conclusions from the reading plan
used.
1.
I would have never made it through if I did not read it ENTIRELY on my iPod touch.
2.
The listening feature was amazing, not only could I multi-task, but I comprehended so much more
than I would have had I just read the words.
3.
To me I found it much easier to read a big chunk of passages,
versus just reading a few each day.
How I feel this helped my journey as a believer:
1.
When people ask (or I may just shout it from rooftops) I can say I have in fact read every word I
believe to be true.
2.
I thought I knew Jesus before...Whoa. And so much more to I cannot
even begin to grasp.
3.
Reading through the entire word of God has given me so many things I want to emulate more of...
Mainly: compassion, forgiveness, and
humility.
Questions asked by friends:
Q1:
Where do you find the time to read?
A1:
I made time. It was important to me. Don't get me wrong I fell behind
at times, but it was so worth the commitment.
Q2:
Do you feel closer to God?
A2:
Oh yes, but I feel closer each time I pray and even read a verse a day. So thankful for the opportunity.
Q3:
Did you understand all of it?
A3: NO WAY! Some of the ideas I
couldn't even begin to understand. However, I pressed on for
believing in Jesus Christ as my
Savior is all true and good would work through His word to enlighten me.
Also, huge props to my friends who encouraged me along the way. Thanks for sharing in this part of my path.
