One goal I’ve had for a long time is to read the entire Bible. I’ve started and stopped this goal several times, and I hope that by periodically blogging about it, I’ll be holding myself more accountable.
I’ve made it through Genesis many times, only to get sidetracked. I’ve read bits and pieces of the Bible, but I want to read it in its entirety.
I found a Bible-in-a-year plan that I think will work well for me.
The Victory Bible reading plan is designed to be completed in 365 days. I started it today, with the hopes of finishing it by the end of 2008.
The plan has you read some from the Old Testament, some from the New Testament, and a Psalm or Proverb each day. I think that will keep me on track, and will get me through the muddy geneology and things that have been roadblocks for me in the past.
Also, I’ll read through the gospels twice in this plan. Gotta love that.
Have you read the Bible through in a year (or ever)? How’d it go?
Kacie, one thing that might help you get through the “boring dry” and what seems useless stuff is realizing that it all has significance to the Jewish people. If you follow the genealogy you will find that not only was Joseph a decedent of David but Mary was also…and Christ was to be a decedent of David and the only way that could be was through Mary. Knowing the history and the why makes reading it a little easier.
I have the same goals, I have read the new and part of the old, but never finished it. Thanks for the links! I got a new Archaeoligcal Study Bible for Christmas so I am motivated!
