Well, we are three weeks in. Genesis, almost completed. Matthew, half-way point. Keep up the good work. Remember, a spiritual reading diet of four chapters of the Bible daily and in a year's time you will have read all sixty-six books of the Bible.
Hopefully, you are finding the project transformational as well as informational. I am enjoying all the questions and comments so many of you are sharing with me on Sunday mornings.
Here are the next week's readings:
Oct 4: Gen 49-50; Matt 13:31-58
Oct 5: Ex 1-3; Matt 14:1-21
Oct 6: Ex 4-6; Matt 14:22-36
Oct 7: Ex 7-8; Matt 15:1-20
Oct 8: Ex 9-11; Matt 15:21-39
Oct 9: Ex 12-13; Matt 16
Oct 10: Ex 14-15; Matt 17
Happy reading.
I find that I want to read ahead when it is a really interesting part (as is most of Genesis), but I am trying to make myself stick to the schedule because I realize that the real treasure of this project is the habit of daily reading. If I divert from the plan when it's interesting what's to stop me from diverting when it's not so interesting (gee, how many stitches are required on the temple curtain?) Anyway, I can tell that the morning reading habit is starting to form, and that is a good thing.
ReplyDeleteDana: Thanks for your post. I too find myself getting both ahead and behind in my own reading based on interest and attention span. As well, the discipline is useful and in time becomes ingrained. Peace.
