I actually began this read-through in late March of this year using a 90-day reading schedule, however I ended up taking eight months to complete it. Regardless of the time, I am pleased to have read through the entire 66 books of the Bible in less than a year.
I have numerous Bibles in several versions, however my favorite is the New King James Version. For this read-through, I used the NKJV Study Bible I purchased in 2006. This is the fourth time I've read through this particular Bible. Robbie and I used a different Bible when we read it through (out loud!) together in 2007, so I've completely read the Bible at least five times in the past 10 years.
What I most love about reading the Bible is that I learn something new each time and different scriptures speak to me based on what's happening in my life. This year I was once again reminded that we don't have to be perfect for God to use us, we simply need a heart that seeks the Lord and His will.
Here's a look at the completed page in my 50 Things To Do Before I'm 50 mini-album.
So impressed, few of us make it all the way through once in a lifetime. What I want to know is how do you let fall get by without carving a pumpkin?! lol
ReplyDeleteI am hoping our church does this again - reading the Bible in 90 days - I very much enjoyed it the first time through. There is something to be said for the cross referencing of content and continuity that comes from reading straight through in a concentrated way. Well done you!!
ReplyDeleteI've been enjoying using the Olive Tree bible app which gives you the ability to read the same passage in different versions. The current study I'm doing is using the Message which I've not read in great detail before. Enjoying it tho'.
ReplyDeleteReading the bible through is always a worthwhile endeavour tho' - well done on completing it.
