read the whole Bible again

I have been enjoying reading the bible again this year, my Daily Bible is brilliant, and helps me to understand what i’m reading.

So far i’ve read all the books of the Torah, the great heroes, Noah, Abraham, Joseph, Moses, the rise and fall of Israel, the wonderful stories and psalms of David, the proverbs and wisdom of Solomon … i’ve just got to the bit where Israel is divided and at its lowest point as a nation, turning ever more to idolatory, fighting against each other and at war with other nations. Cue the prophets (i suspect)!

At the beginning of the year i also tried keeping a journal about what i was reading, but it became too much of a burden and i quickly slipped behind. It’s a shame, because i have now read so much, i can’t possibly remember it all, i’d like to have a brief summary that i could look back on. Maybe next year i’ll just write quick notes into a notebook as i go, that might work better.

I think God actually arranged for me to stumble across this goal today – January 1st – I have a Daily Bible to read in a year, and I’ve just thought what a wonderful idea it would be to read it again! It’s arranged chronologically which helps reading, and it has plenty of notes and background information which is so beneficial.

Thank you crackerjack for having this goal, for it being number 2 on your list where I noticed it, and for cheering one of my other goals just now! Your timing could not have been more perfect!
