It’s about time I updated again on reading the Bible in 90 days. In my last update, I mentioned that I was a little bit ahead. I am glad that I did that or I would definitely be behind this week. Life has a way of throwing curve balls at you and I have had a lot of days this week that didn’t go as planned. While I was able to fit some reading in, it wasn’t a whole daily portion according to the schedule.
I have heard people say that reading the Bible in this way reads like a novel. I understand why they would say that. I am seeing the connection to so many things in the Bible that I haven’t even come to in my reading yet. For example, as I read about King Uzziah in 2 Chronicles, the phrase, “In the year that King Uzziah died….” from Isaiah 6 came to my mind. It gave me a whole new perspective on that chapter. I know that I will never read it the same again.
Reading through Esther as a whole was so exciting, even though I already knew the outcome. This is so easy to do since it is only 10 chapters. And today I start with the book of Job. I have been studying and teaching through this, but I am looking forward to reading it straight through. I know it will help me as I prepare for my next lesson.
I am still a few days ahead which is an encouragement. I know someone who is trying to catch up and I am thankful that is not me. I think I would give up. Maybe not…at this point, by the grace of God, I have read too far to quit. If you would like to join me, it is not too late. A lady in our church started 2 weeks ago. Grab a schedule here, and start counting your 90 days from today. Be sure to leave a comment below so I can pray for you and we can encourage one another.
Great job! One third done already. This is something you’ll always treasure. Keep on!
Wonderful!! May our great and awesome God continue to teach new truths as you continue this reading program. You have the best Teacher in the whole universe, God’s Holy Spirit.
