Today, I began reading the Bible again using a chronological plan located here that I discovered several years ago. Well, seven years ago, to be exact. How do I know?
- 2015: Old Testament
- 2016: New Testament
- 2017: Old and New
- 2018: Old and New
- 2019/2020: Old/New
- 2021: Old and New
According to this math? 2022 will encourage my reading the Bible chronologically for the sixth time.
Why again? I have learned so much history and so much Bible. Just that repetition is powerful. AND...even though I have now read the entire Bible a few times, I will find myself thinking, "I don't remember that...at all." Just revelation...as needed. Yes, just another way that God speaks to me. Therefore, I must keep reading...and re-reading! Yes!
I recommend this plan to any and all who will listen, for the journey has been the reason that I have learned much of what I know about the Bible...yet I have so much to still learn. So much.
This is not a slow read, as 3-4 chapters need to be read each day, consistently, to achieve reading the entire Bible in a year. But...this does not have to be a reader's only way to study. Focus on a verse. Also, slowly read and study a book of the Bible. Or reading just the Old or New Testament throughout a year. But...I need this chronological read again as I need to continue to learn the history...of what happened to whom...and when...and how that affected those before and after. Just. So. Interesting!
No matter the method...just keep reading!
