Read Through the Bible

This morning I finished reading the Bible all the way through again. I’ve been doing this off and on for the past 25 years or so and don’t know how many times I’ve completed it but in each season of life, I’ve found so many relevant passages speaking to the challenges, encouraging me, and pointing me to the author and perfecter of our faith. 

There is something powerful about consistently exposing your mind to a source of wisdom and spiritual truth over a long period of time and I have seen God use it over and over to impact my life. In Psalms 119:105 it says, “Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.” I’ve found the Bible to be a guiding light for me and will probably be reading and learning from it for the rest of my life.

If you’ve never read the Bible or read it all the way through it’s actually not that difficult to do. Like any good habit, all it takes is a little consistency and with just 10-15 minutes a day you can read through the Bible in a year. Apps like YouVersion’s Bible app have plans breaking it into bite sized chunks with a few chapters from the Old Testament, a few from the New Testament, a chapter from Psalms, and a couple verses from Proverbs each day. You can even make it a part of your commute or fitness routine by listening to the audio version. It’s the best seller of all time and can impact your life in deeply meaningful and eternally consequential ways. Why not start reading it today?

In Pursuit of His best,
