New Year

I love New Years.

Do you?

Nothing like a fresh start.

Clean slate.

A reset.

Are you resetting anything?

Wiping anything clean?

Looking back at last year’s goals, I actually did pretty great!

How ’bout you?

I accomplished over half of my goals, plus more.

2020 was a horrible year by many accounts.

If you focus on quarantine, riots, lawlessness, cheating, etc., you could become overwhelmed with negativity.

Understandable.

Totally.

But remember: God is on the throne.

Always and forever.

And I’m choosing to focus on that.

My God has a plan, has had a plan, and always will have His plan.

Speaking of plans, I have decided to read through the Bible chronologically this year.

As a type A personality, it makes me nervous skipping around the Bible, not merely reading in order.

But I’m excited!

Ever read the Bible this way?

Join me!

Find the downloadable plan below:

This year, let’s focus to place God first in our lives.

Let’s resolve to give Him our absolute everything.

And when we do, 2021 will be a great year despite anything that comes our way.

Hallelujah!

Bible Plan

Ever read the Bible all the way through?

I have 3 times.

First time was as a 5th grader.

The boy who liked me at the time challenged me to read it.

He read it too.

Didn’t understand everything I read, but it was a start.

Fast forward a few years and I read through another time.

And this past year again, finishing a few days ago.

While I love reading the whole way through, going forward, I decided to take more time.

I adore the Psalms, Proverbs, and New Testament, so that’s what I’m trying this year.

Couldn’t find one that simply required a chapter per day, so I made mine up.

It’s simply 1 chapter from Psalms or Proverbs and 1 chapter from the New Testament.

That’s it.

No breaking up long chapters, no chunking smaller ones.

Simple.

Hoping this idea will allow more time to simply think about what I read.

To ingest the wisdom, grasping the understanding just a bit more.

The Psalms and Proverbs will be read twice through each.

Just allow yourself a few more minutes when Psalm 119 pops up. 🙂

If not this plan, choose another.

I challenge you, too.   🙂
