It could be the best decision you make in this new year…though it might not seem that way at first. In fact, it could be awhile before you begin experiencing any of the benefits of completing this commitment. But if you make this decision, and follow through, I am confident that you will reach December 31 and look back at this commitment as a turning point for your life.
What is this potentially life-changing commitment?
Answer: Read through the Bible this year.
That answer might disappoint some–you were perhaps expecting something with more punch and pizazz. But developing the discipline of consistent Bible reading and reflecting could be the best decision you make in 2010.
If you want to grow spiritually, you need a steady diet of Scripture. There is no substitute. The poet, T.S. Eliot, once said, “Everything we eat has some effect upon us. It affects us during the process of assimilation and digestion; and I believe exactly the same is true of anything we read.” My interpretation: You are what you read. We need to be spending more time reading the Word of God.
I am committed to preparing and presenting Biblical messages throughout 2010 that will nourish us spiritually. However, every Christian needs to take responsibility for feeding themselves spiritually as well. Which means consistent time in God’s Word.
So what do you say? Will you make this commitment? Take the plunge? We have provided daily Bible reading guides; but there are plenty of other options available. If you are interested in checking them out, let me know. But decide now…we are only four days into the new year…it isn’t too late to get started…become more consistent in opening your Bible and reading it for yourself.
