Reading up on my old/new church in Illinois last night, I happened upon their resource tab. One of their resources lead me to the M'Cheyne Read the Bble in a Year schedule. Program. Whatever it's called. I thought it looked manageable, especially since I can access it right onmy ipad, which I use everyday. So why not? Who wouldn't want to read the bible 1.5 times a year?
The main layout of the schedule, as I understand it, is to read the OT once in a year, and the NT and Psalms twice in the year. Each day, there are four reading sections: two from the OT, one from the NT, and one from either the Psalms or the Gospels. Make sense?
Of course there are differnt reading plans. I originally became more motivated when I discovered my second brother diligently reading through the Bible with his church/small group. They are using something that's called "The Slacker's Plan for Reading the Bible in a Year," or something to that extent. It was just so encouraging to see the change in my brother, the maturity that grew since he moved out, and I was a little jealous, to be honest. Jealous that he's learned to be in the Word, where I have never been able to dwell for an extended period of time. I mean, in 12th grade I decided to read through the Bible in its entirety. To this day, I am still only in the minor prophets.
Hopefully, this reading plan will not only set the pace for me, but the little daily checklist will help keep me accountable. I hope to post a blog on August 12, 2013 announcing my success in sticking with and completing this goal. Pray for me!
