It has been a while since I have even attempted to read through the Bible in a year. This year, I am doing just that, along with my regular Bible reading (reading through more slowly) and a Bible study.
This has me going through five different sections of Scripture at present. I thought it could be a bit overwhelming but, so far, I am enjoying it. Each portion is different from each other and yet each serves a purpose.
I don’t know if I will do this every year. I’ll have to see how this year goes but, for this year, I am looking forward to seeing what God speaks to me, as I draw near to Him and ask Him to show me the way I should go and to help me to be faithful. This continues to be my constant prayer.
You may not have the time to read as much Scripture as I hope to this year, but I encourage you to read at least some Scripture every day. Even if it’s one verse that you meditate on each day, it will not return void.
Psalm 119:11 says, “Your word have I hid in my heart, that I might not sin against you“ (emphasis mine). Although sin is sometimes pleasurable for a season, it is the pure in heart that shall see God (Matthew 5:8).
Won’t you take time to read God’s Word today?

Sony,
Agreed, apart from reading the word you cannot hide it in your heart Psm.119:11 nor live by it Matt. 4:4 nor do the will of God Matt. 7:21. Jesus said that apart from doing His Fathers will we cannot enter the kingdom of heaven. This year I am reading it cover to cover Rev. to Gen.
Because the wicked contemplative corruption is running rampant in the church and in the world, anyone using their BUZZ verbiage like ( hearing from God and meditating ) unfortunately makes me nervous.
